JUL <br />71992 <br />ROOM, '50, �f: 334 <br />Mr. <br />Zorc believed the decisions about the hospital are <br />being controlled by a small group of people and that it is <br />close to an emergency situation. He felt Commissioner <br />Lyons is talking about a 4 year delay. <br />Discussion followed about the fact that the terms of <br />those on the Hospital Board are staggered and four out of <br />seven Hospital Board members are up for election in <br />November. <br />Mr. Zorc noted that the Hospital Board is in the <br />process of making a decision and because of how they have <br />gone about it, he believed they have not represented to the <br />taxpayers that we have an emergency situation. <br />Commissioner Fletcher felt the letter written by Mr. <br />Ballard, which was read by Mr. Seramur, indicated that the <br />Hospital Board is responding to ACT's concern for a public <br />hearing. <br />Mr. Zorc stated that there is no way Ballard and that <br />group can provide a fair hearing. <br />Commissioner Fletcher believed there would be a problem <br />involved if the County Commission inserted themselves into <br />this situation at this point. He pointed out that Mr. Zorc <br />is still a member of that Long Range Planning Committee and <br />as such he has access to the information presented to -cause <br />the 7-1 vote, which the general public might not have. <br />Mr. Zorc stated that it is the attitude of the Hospital <br />Board members which prevents further discussion. He stated <br />that he was prepared to accept that the County Commission <br />would decline to run a public hearing, and he would be glad <br />to work with the Hospital Board of Trustees in cooperating <br />with any civic group in holding an open public hearing. <br />Commissioner -Bird felt -that Mr. Ballard's letter says <br />exactly that. <br />Chairman Scurlock inquired about any policy there has <br />been with reference to putting an item on a referendum in <br />-0 <br />
