At the continuation of the September 16th Council Meeting, the Council voted 5-3 in favor of putting the Memorial Auditorium project on the November ballot. Council members Valentine, Granger, and Antonich voted against the measure.
I was a strong proponent of putting this issue on the ballot and letting the citizens of Wellington decide the fate of the proposed project. At one time I felt the issue was close to passing by the City Council itself, and I felt the issue involved too much money and too much emotion for the Council to decide. Therefore, I felt it absolutely necessary that the public be allowed to vote on it.
As with any issue, it is important that the citizens now get informed about the plans and the cost of this project before November 4th. Watch for announcements of community meetings which will provide information.
As soon as I can, I will post information on my website pertaining to the plans and the expected costs related to this project.
