Dani Rand (336 Lopas Street, Menasha) spoke against the referendum question
concerning the Jeferson Pool. Specifically, Rand mentioned that a final cost for the
new pool has not been identified, and that this initiative is premature.

question. Sturm advised that when Jefferson Park was initially build, a referendum
question was considered, but the Common Council chose not to move forward with
it, and instead enacted the park's vision themselves.
