WHEREAS,
it is important to note
that
sponsoring, co-sponsoring, signing, or

employees, the central emergency services
administrators, or any other borough
employees that serve the needs of Borough
citizens; and
WHEREAS,
by sponsoring, co-sponsoring, signing, or
voting for this referendum you are
indicating your concern and opposition to
the flawed process that has failed to
address many important issues prior to the
assembly vote on January 18, 2005; that you
question the decision to purchase three
prime lots on Wilson Avenue in downtown
Soldotna; that you question why the assembly
and administration failed to seriously
consider more cost effective solutions; and

million authorization limit for capital
projects; and

whenever taxpayer dollars are to be spent,
they should be spent wisely,
