weeks.Council Member Watts spoke in favor of holding the referendum before spending any
money on Phase I project design;Mr.Jermier stated that the design was necessary in order to
obtain project costs before an election.Council Member Harvey wondered if the referendum
would pass for an unplanned project,then echoed Council Member Watts'concerns regarding
spending money on a design if the project is ultimately not supported by voters.Director of
Public Works Gibson noted significant issues with storm water management on the proposed
site that should be addressed prior to a referendum,adding that irrigation for the site could be
provided through the old city well.City Administrator Moerman spoke in favor of Phase I
design,citing the development of good information so that voters can make an informed
decision on the matter.Council Member Dutcher voiced his support for the Phase I design,
then expressed concern that the four ballfields planned for the site would not be adequate for
hosting tournaments.Council Member Watts suggested a design be drafted for the entirety of
Clayton Commons and not just for the ballfield portion that would be part of a referendum.The
City Council directed staff to move forward with RFPs for design services.
