r � � <br />has no idea what the ramifications of selling the hospital <br />would be and, therefore, to hold such a public hearing <br />before this Commission would be completely useless as far as <br />he was concerned. Commissioner Wodtke continued that he had <br />absolutely no problem with putting anything on a referendum <br />that is requested by the Board responsible when all the <br />facts and ramifications are known, but believed to put <br />anything on the ballot now when the issue is clouded by <br />emotionalism would be tremendously unfair to all concerned <br />and the taxpayers would suffer in the long run. He did not <br />care what the numbers are since he believed we first need to <br />have an indication from the responsible elected officials <br />that they would like to have something put on the ballot. <br />Mr. Zorc stated that there is sufficient evidence to <br />prove that the Hospital Board has a closed mind and such a <br />request will never come from them. <br />Commissioner Wodtke stated that was Mr. Zorc's opinion, <br />and he did not agree with it. <br />Mr. Zorc emphasized that he had signed ballots sent in <br />by 311 people stating that they don't agree with what the <br />committee has done, and the committee is run by the <br />Trustees. <br />Commissioner Wodtke noted that there are 65,000 people <br />in the County. <br />Mr. Zorc commented that Mr. Wodtke had said that no <br />number would satisfy him. <br />C mni.ssioner Wodtke explained that he had said that he would <br />prefer that the request to put something on a referendum <br />involved with selling the hospital come from the Hospital <br />Board of Trustees on a majority vote. <br />Mr. Zorc continued to argue that Commissioner Wodtke <br />had also said that no matter what number of people <br />petitioned for a referendum, he would say no to that <br />directly, and asked if that was not correct. <br />83 <br />AUG 4.1982. 5� <br />� J <br />
