SUBJ: Recommendations
The Park Referendum Task Force has resumed its original pace of progress following a holiday
break. At our regular meeting of January 25, 1996, the Task Force approved the following
recommendations be forwarded to the City Council:
1. The Task Force will request the Council's support in forwarding a park, open space and
trail referendum to the voters in 1996. The Task Force believes that it is the
responsibility of the city to take this action. The Task Force also believes that in this
period of rapid growth and land consumption, the citizens deserve the opportunity to
participate in what can be described as the "Chanhassen Land Rush."
2. To accomplish the work of the Task Force, more workers are needed. A recommendation
listing additional appointments to the Task Force will be forwarded to the Council.
Since the original appointment process of last spring, three members have resigned from
the Task Force. The remaining members would like to recommend the following
replacements:
Resignations New Appointments
Jim Andrews, Park & Recreation Commission Rep. Frank Scott, Park & Recreation Commission Rep.
Jane Quilling, Resident Representative Richard Wing, 3481 Shore Drive
Craig Blechta, Resident Representative Mike Lynch, 6630 Horseshoe Curve
It is our intent to enlist an additional 30 to 50 more volunteers to work on a "Vote
Yes" or "Get Out To Vote" Committee.

3. Concerning the potential voting date, the Task Force is leaning towards November '
