AUG I �, 1989 <br />Mrs. Robinson informed the Board that they have used the <br />Highlands clubhouse as a polling place for years, but all of a <br />sudden she got a letter saying she had to pay the $200 for the <br />use of that facility; so, she moved the polling place to <br />Highlands Elementary School although she is reluctant to move <br />back into the schools. <br />Supervisor Robinson explained that because of the census <br />next year, Precinct 51 has to use a different property line. She <br />can't use the property line between Riomar Drive and Iris Lane, <br />but will have to use Riomar Drive itself and divide the precinct <br />right down the middle of the street. So, for Precinct 51, the <br />language should be "subdivided along the E/W boundary of Riomar <br />Drive and continuing across the entire existing precinct." St. <br />Edward's Lower School has approved the use of its facility as the <br />new polling place for Precinct 56. Mrs. Robinson noted that the <br />main problem with using schools for polling places is that it <br />creates a traffic problem and a hazard for the children, and we <br />do have educational programs in the schools. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, to approve the request by <br />the Supervisor of Elections to subdivide Precincts <br />15, 24, 36 and 51 as outlined by her verbally, and it <br />being understood we will not use the McLarty Visitors <br />Center for a polling place and that we will use <br />Highlands Elementary School as a polling place for <br />Precinct 43. <br />William Koolage, interested citizen, spoke in support of an <br />ordinance re polling places as proposed by Supervisor Robinson. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />14 <br />
