Welch said the questions at the last meeting revolved around the generator and asked Smith if he could
clarify the condition of the generator.
Smith explained that actually the generator that the City received from the military surplus is in good
shape. What they are seeking, he said, is a backup generator to that one. He said their long range plans
would be to use the generator they have now to supply power to the City Building in the event of an
emergency and the backup generator would be there in case that one went down. Otherwise, he said, they
would utilize it at the Street Division,keeping that operation going and the trucks running.
Councilmember Parker asked if the other generator had ever been plugged in to see if it works here in the
City Building and Smith responded that they had not ever been able to completely shut the existing power
off and switching it over to the generator supply but that is something they are working on. He said they
will try to get an electrical contractor to work with them on it and are going to try to do the same thing with
the Street Division building.

$2,672,000. She said it involves the mastering, packaging, molding expansion, adding that Cinram's CD
lines are mostly automated but they still have much manual packaging that some customers demand. She
said they are also a large maker of cassettes and the factory runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week to keep
up with the demand of their customers. She added that this expansion would enable the company to hire
five additional employees to add to their current staff of 522.

ORDINANCE NO.81-1999
The Clerk read Ordinance No. 81 — 1999 —AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF RICHMOND, INDIANA, APPROVING OF THE ISSUANCE BY THE CITY OF
RICHMOND,INDIANA,BOARD OF PARKS AND RECREATION OF SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT
BONDS OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND,INDIANA,PARK DISTRICT
President Welch declared Ordinance No. 81 — 1999 on public hearing and stated that he was aware that
there are several people in the audience tonight who want to speak in favor of it. He said Council has
discussed the ordinance and most of the Councilmembers are well aware of what this is all about.He asked
those who come forward to speak to condense their remarks,speaking only to pertinent facts.
Stanton Lambert, superintendent of Parks and Recreation Department, said the ordinance deals with the$2
1/4 million bonding that would be used for six different projects previously approved by the Park Board. He
said the improvements are necessary to replace or renovate facilities whose condition has deteriorated due
to old age, extensive continual use and/or do not meet current codes including state building codes,
Consumer Safety Product Commission guidelines for playground and the Americans with Disabilities Act
regulations.He said the projects identified in this plan were prioritized from recommendations made by the
Community Review Process in 1998 and although this plan does not address all facility and infrastructure
issues in the parks system it does address the highest priority items and project components.
He said Project 1 is to construct a new restroom facility located closer to the high use areas in Glen Miller
Park and removal of the existing restroom building. Project 2, he said, is the replacement of the existing
playground in Glen Miller Park with funding to be projected from the Revolving Loan Fund passed earlier
tonight. He said it also includes the replacement of the existing tennis courts at their existing location and
adding additional office space to the existing administration building at Glen Miller Park.
Lambert said a partial listing of improvements being planned in progress or recently completed include the
replacement of two of the park's nine bridges or culverts,paving of park roads, adding a skate park facility
and addressing the erosion issues throughout the park especially along the creek and around the lake. In
Clear Creek Park, he said, the renovation of Cordell Municipal Pool is planned, stating that the facility
remains popular and is heavily used with more than 24,000 visitors to the pool this summer. However, he
said,the pool house is in poor condition and is not up to code to serve the community. He added that deck
drainage and lighting also do not meet code.
Speaking to the funding of this project, Lambert said an important goal of the administration is to reduce
or, at minimum,not to raise taxes. He said bonding for this project is set not to raise taxes but to retain the
same level currently in place from the previous bond issue. Additionally, he said, the administration has
developed a strategy to lessen the need to rely on bonding in the future through setting aside funding each
year in the department's operating budget that can be accumulated to address facility and infrastructure
issues as the need arises. He said, however, this project cannot be put off until this strategy is functioning
but this would give the community another option for funding in the future.

Lambert said the schematic phase of the design process for this project has been completed and a copy of
the report detailing the work done to date has been given to Councilmembers.Those in the audience tonight
to answer questions include himself,Erick Rantz who is representing the design firm of Quandt Inc.; Nick
Serrani, Vice President of the Park Board; City Controller Shelley Miller; City Attorney Bob Bever;
Colleen Irwin-Naught, representing the bond financial advisors H.J. Umbaugh & Associates; and David
Arrison, representing bond counsel Baker & Daniels. He said the design board would be located in the
hallway tonight for further review and would be displayed on the second floor of the City Building for
review by the public throughout the next two weeks.
Lambert said the project and the bond planning has gone through a lengthy public process including three
Park Board resolutions being passed with no public dissent. He added that he would recommend the
ordinance be passed to enable the community to continue to enjoy the excellent parks system now and in
the future.
In answer to a question by Councilmember Elstro about the Skate Park, Lambert said it would have three
different areas which include one for beginners,intermediates and experienced as well as a street skate area
resembling an open area that kids currently use on the street with railings, stairs and curbing. He said it
would also include some bowls and ramps, adding that most of it would be designed at the low grade level
so there would be no huge structure standing above ground level at Glen Miller Park. He said the location
of the Skate Park, which would be open to skate boards and in line skating would be at the corner of North
D and 22nd Streets where the old ball field used to be.
Councilmember Hutton asked what kind of extra liability insurance would be required for the Skate Park.
Lambert answered that when checking with the City's risk management insurance company they stated that
at this time there would be no additional liability insurance. He said the reason for that is that skating has
been put onto the high risk list of recreational activities which means that users who are participating in that
sport are deemed to understand, acknowledge and accept that there is a risk in participating in that type of
sport.
Speaking to the questions raised by Councilmember Parker was Collette Irwin-Naught who said that
because of this being a relatively short bond issue as far as the number of years of repayment, they would
anticipate that the bonds would sell at about 4 3/4 to 5 percent. She said the bond issue that was retired was
at about 8 percent. Councilmember Parker then commented that this would be the exact amount of money
but at a lower rate,therefore a lower tax rate.Irwin-Naught said the bond issue is designed so it would have
approximately a 9-cent tax rate and in the past 10 years the debt service rate for the previous bond issue
actually began at about 12 cents.
President Welch said when the Skate Park is built, there will be sidewalk added along the east edge of
North 22nd Street running north from East Main Street to the Skate Park.Lambert added that the Skate Park
would be funded through the Revolving Loan Fund as opposed to the bonding issue.He said they are doing
the design planning for the playground area through the bond issue but it will all be constructed through the
funding from the Revolving Loan Fund.
Councilmember Dickman suggested that warning signs be posted that read "Skate At Your Own Risk," so
at least it would be posted. Lambert said they had been informed of that and added that those who are
interested in seeing what kind of Skate Park they have in mind, Middletown, Ohio just put one in that
opened up in June.
Serrani stated that a lot of work had been done in this area and the Park Board looks for all these
improvements to put them in compliance so they will be ready for the next century.He said he feels that if
they wait any longer they are going to be behind the eight ball. He added that the Park Board is very
pleased with all the improvements and enthused about them. Councilmember Rice said he feels it is about
time to do something about the playground equipment because he has had his grandson out there several
times and noticed some areas where kids could fall through.
President Welch said everything that is on the playground now will be eliminated and the area will be
enlarged. He said the topography will change and all the equipment placed there will be up to date and in
line with the current code.He said there would be some things there that have never been there before.
Arrison,representing the bond counsel, said he and another representative of the firm have attended all the
meetings of the Park Board and there has been no opposition to this project. He said it sounds like it is a
project whose time has come and added that the bonds are of the district and are issued in the name of the
City but the City itself is not liable. He said they are looking at a sale date of about November 23 if they
can get the State Tax Board to move promptly with the approval of the bond issue and the closing would be
early in December.He added that they certainly would like to get this completed before the end of the year
if possible.

Lundy asked about the volleyball courts in Clear Creek Park and Lambert answered that as part of this
project here or as part of the 2000 budget they have put in the 260 budget at Middlefork Reservoir to
construct a second sand volleyball court at the Reservoir which would allow them to move their leagues out
there.He said currently the leagues have to play on Sunday nights and it is inside the pool area that creates
some user group conflicts if one group rents the pool and the leagues are down in the sand volleyball area.
He said by moving them to the reservoir it would put it into a public area that the community would be able
to use easier and more freely.
She also asked about Springwood Lake and Lambert said those courts are hard courts and they are in the
process of trying to get the paving done this year,but certainly next year.
