The community center did get added to the bond list for council's consideration by the committee - it just didn't rank as high as the others. The city council will weigh these rankings, but it is ultimately the council's decision as to what gets put on the bond.
That's good to know.
I'm still not sure why, though, the council even focused on that option, when there were several other, more desired projects that were recommended. Why bring it up at all? Just drop it.
When you say there are other "more desired projects" on the list, I guess it depends on your definition of desired. If "desired" means "needed by the city", then you are correct. If "desired" means "wanted by the people that actually show up at public meetings held by the bond committee", then you are wrong. From what I understand, the public that actually showed up at the bond public meetings were mostly represented by a large group of seniors that are pushing for a community center.
That said, I can't imagine the council putting it on the ballot.
