Bond issue too high

On the next bond election regarding the Sammons Community Center: The city already has a community center.

The bond election for the replacement of the Sammons Community Center is for what the city wants but not for what the seniors want or need. The amount of the bond the city is asking is ridiculous.

The current center could be demolished and replaced with a new structure the same size at the current location. Using insurance funds from the 2024 tornado should reduce substantially replacement of the facility and our residents might have more faith in our city government.
