. Councilor Ball stated that he was prepared to move forward in support of the Hult Center, but he felt that additional discussion was needed on implementing a financial package that did not include General Fund property taxes. He stated that other alternatives were present for discussion. While the long-term package for the Hult Center made sense, he felt that it also hid the center's funding among other services. He felt that the center was not the same as other City services and therefore should not be adding into the same funding base. Councilor Wooten stated that she partially supported the restaurant tax to fund the Hult Center shortfall. She said there were not sufficient votes on the council to deal with the Hult Center on a single-revenue basis; the task force recommendations were a compromise to deal with the center's issues in an equit- able manner. She said the council must face the problem, adding that the compromise provided some forward movement. Councilor Obie called for the question. The motion carried, 7:1; Mr. Obie, Ms. Wooten, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Holmer, Ms. Nichols, and Ms. Smith voting aye; Mr. Ball voti ng nay. Mayor Keller thanked the members of the task force for their work, stating that the process has been worthwhile. He added that the task force still has some work before it. e III.
