MARIETTA - The Cobb Parks Coalition hopes to draw as many Cobb County residents as possible to show their support Tuesday of a proposed parks referendum on the November election ballot.

Cobb commissioners plan to hold a public hearing Tuesday night about a proposed parks bond question on the November election ballot.

The public will have an opportunity to tell commissioners whether or not they support putting a bond question on the ballot to ask voters if the county should issue $40 million in general obligation bonds to buy land for future parks.

Paul Paulson, one of the leaders of the Cobb Parks Coalition, said it's important for residents from across Cobb to voice support at the public hearing because commissioners only have until July 11 to decide to put the question on the ballot.

"The commissioners, Sam Olens in particular, said there has to be strong grassroots support," Paulson said. "He wants to hear from the people, so let's not disappoint him."

At Tuesday's public hearing, commissioners are expected to hear from an unlimited number of residents for up to three minutes each, Paulson said.
