pointed out that the taxpayers had put the Trustees on their <br />toes but they were still faced with some questions: Are the <br />people satisfied with the administration? Is the hospital <br />run by a special interest group? Should we keep or sell the <br />hospital? The answers to those questions would tell if the <br />people were satisfied with the administration. <br />Chairman Scurlock commented that he would like some <br />commitment that the ballot would be uncluttered and would <br />not have any literature with it. He felt the dissemination <br />of all information could be available through the public <br />hearings. <br />Mr. Ballard agreed absolutely - to let the issue stand <br />on its own. He believed the Board of Trustees would have <br />no problem with the Board of County Commissioners looking <br />over the questionnaire they would prepare. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired if the members of the Long <br />Range Planning Committee were committed to undertaking the <br />time this administrational process would require? <br />Mr. Ballard advised that they would have to engage some <br />one for this purpose. As an entity, he added, they had the <br />responsibility to make this information available and would <br />retain someone to prepare this for them. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, that the Board deny the <br />request by ACT for having a straw ballot in <br />November. <br />Commissioner Lyons commented that, in his mind, the_ <br />proposal by the Hospital Board was the equivalent to a <br />referendum. He asked if the Committee would have its work <br />completed by April. <br />Mr. Ballard responded affirmatively. <br />R 51 PA -U -c131 <br />AUG25 1982 21 <br />
