Section 1. That the Official Special Election Ballot shall be in a form substantially as follows:

Sioux Falls November South
8, 2011 Dakota
OFFICIAL MUNICIPAL SPECIAL ELECTION BALLOT
Instruction to the Voter:
To vote on a ballot question
fill in the oval ( ) next to
“Yes” or “No.”
Use only a pencil.
The Sioux Falls City Council is considering the construction of a multi-purpose events
center (the “Project”) in the City of Sioux Falls. If the proposition is approved by the
majority of those voting, further action will be required by the City Council to issue sales
tax revenue bonds to finance the Project. No general obligation bonds will be issued.
There will be no new taxes, no increase in property taxes, and no increase in sales tax rates
authorized by the current City Council to pay for the Project.
The question submitted to the legal voters of the City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is as
follows:
PROPOSITION TO BUILD AN EVENTS CENTER
Whether the City of Sioux Falls should build a multipurpose Events Center and
associated site improvements (the “Project”) at a Project cost not to exceed one-
hundred-fifteen million dollars ($115,000,000.00).
CITY ATTORNEY’S EXPLANATION
This election will advise the City Council as to whether the public supports proceeding with
the Project. The City Council has selected the Sioux Falls Convention Center site as the site
to build the Project. The Council has also adopted a resolution stating that it will not proceed
with the Project if the proposal is not approved by a majority of those voting in this election.
The amount proposed to be spent refers to the cost of designing, constructing, equipping, and
furnishing a multipurpose Events Center and associated site improvements (including
architectural and engineering fees and expenses). Interest and other financing costs are
additional costs that will be incurred and are not included in the Project cost of designing,
constructing, equipping, and furnishing a multipurpose Events Center and associated site
improvements. Debt service reserves and other reserves are also not included in the Project
costs. Project costs also do not include additional capital improvements that may be incurred
in future years.
In order to construct the Project, further action will be required by the City Council to allow
the City to issue revenue bonds to be repaid from and secured solely by revenues from the
existing second penny sales tax to finance all or a portion of the costs of the Project.
A vote “Yes” is for constructing the Project.
A vote “No” is against constructing the Project.
To vote on ballot question, fill in oval ( ) in front of “Yes” or “No. ”
YES
SHALL THE PROPOSITION TO CONSTRUCT
