2. Proposed Referendum— City Nursin FgL acility
Councilor Blanchette recommended a referendum question be put to voters on
whether the City Nursing Facility should be closed. The proposal is a binding
referendum such that if the voters decided to keep the home open, its annual
budget would not be maintained as a separate enterprise fund designed to support
. itself, instead it would be rolled into the General Fund. Councilor Farnha.m feels
that the public may not educate themselves on the facility so it would be decided
on which group shows up to vote. Committee voted 2-1 not to recommend the
referendum to the full Council.

City Engineer Jim Ring is still reviewing these documents to refine locations and
areas in question. These will come forward in the future as Council Orders.
