$1.7 MILLION BOND VOTE AT STUART

Guthrie Center Times

November 1, 2007-  Voters in Stuart next Tuesday will be asked to authorize the city to issue bonds for the purpose of making a $1.7 million grant to the Project Restore Foundation to construct, equip and furnish a non-denominational Community Center / Cultural Center at the site of the former All Saints Catholic Church.
     The project, estimated at $2.5 million, recently received a $545,000 grant from The Vision Iowa Board which is contingent upon passage of the bond issue. The rare Byzantine-style church was heavily damaged by an arsonist's hand in 1995.
      A 60 percent majority is required to approve the special measure.
      Also at Stuart, voter input is sought on whether terms of library board members should be reduced to three years and if the board's make up should include three city residents and two rural residents.
      Menlo also has a special public measure that questions if the seven person board of trustees of the library should be decreased to five members.
      Around the county, nearly 30 positions for mayors and city council representatives are on the ballots for the November 6 municipal elections.
