Fellow list members I confess to being a bit shy about this topic. I will attempt to ask a couple of questions, but am aware that I may be looking at this too simplistically.
Here are (I think) fairly simple questions related to the Park Board digs: 1. It seems to me preferable that the Park Board own its own offices and facilities rather than rent. Does that necessarily make sense? Does it make more sense for the Park board to pay out rent "ad infinitum"? 2. Does it make more sense to us as taxpayers to pay on a mortgage for Park Board offices, or to pay rent? (I tend to think of rent as "second best option" for such offices, but please educate me if you think otherwise.) 3. What other issues enter in to the decision "rent" or "Buy" for the Park Board -- other than the narrow "rent or buy" question? --Thanks -- Gary Hoover King Field _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
