experts in the country. Further details will come from the <br />architect and the two head librarians, who are close to the <br />people and know how to work with an overall coordinator towards <br />meeting the needs of all the people in the community. Mrs. <br />Rondeau encouraged everyone to work together in order to get the <br />bond issue passed and the best possible library system built. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously closed <br />the Public Hearing. <br />Commissioner Bird was concerned whether the bond issue was <br />being presented accurately to the public, because someone who <br />attended one of the recent library bond issue presentations told <br />him that when he asked about the tax impact involved, he was told <br />that this will not cost us any more in taxes. Commissioner Bird <br />pointed out that is not exactly accurate, because the beach <br />acquisition bonds are going to expire and the library bond will <br />take its place. <br />Mr. Pascal did not feel that any of the speakers <br />61 <br />misrepresented the tax impact. <br />Commissioner Bird was just concerned that the library group <br />was giving out the correct financial figures with regard to the <br />tax impact, because he felt we need a unified front in order to <br />get the $5.9 million bond issue into this Commission's hands, who <br />will then decide how the money will be spent. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt that is the real key here, because he <br />did not intend to vote to spend any of the bond money until the <br />Board receives specifics. <br />Commissioner Bird felt that the Public Library Advisory <br />Board is needed whether or not the bond issue passes, and his <br />recommendation right now was for a 9 or 11 -member board, rather <br />than an even -numbered board. <br />35 BOOK 5 F,�u, 307 <br />
