ox 50 JAZ x'32 <br />Frank Zorc came before the Board representing ACT, <br />"Aware and Concerned Taxpayers Inc." and once again <br />requested that the Commission hold a public hearing on the <br />controversial issue of whether the Indian River Memorial <br />Hospital should be sold and place a referendum on the ballot <br />in November. Mr. Zorc reported that ACT did approach the <br />Hospital Board as instructed by the Commission and that <br />Board's technique was to offer a public hearing when they <br />are ready. ACT, however, feels that time is critical. Mr. <br />Zorc emphasized that a considerable number of taxpayers want <br />a referendum as evidenced by the response to his <br />questionnaire in the newspaper where of the 311 answers, 95% <br />desired a referendum in November and stated they were <br />convinced there is a control factor at the Hospital which <br />must be changed. Mr. Zorc asserted that the Hospital <br />Trustees cannot give the people the fair, open-minded public <br />hearing they want, and someone else must conduct such a <br />hearing.
