1976 BOND REFERENDUM
Supervisor Tompkins moved that the Board separate the question of a
I
County Jail from the question of a County Governmental Complex on the upcoming
November bond referendum.
Chairman Johnson stated that office space is badly needed for the
County, and sited the poor conditions and crowded space County employees are
currently working under. She further stated that the County needs the governmen-
tal complex to establish its "identity." She also advised that the County is
presently having to rent office space. Supervisor Tompkins said the citizens
should be given a choice on the issue. Mrs. Johnson stated that the Board could
not adequately inform County citizens of the great need for a governmental com-
plex as well as a jail and the Board had decided at an informal, public meeting
held in July that the best method would be to combine the question.
Mrs. Lela Spitz, Catawba resident, spoke in favor of splitting the
I
question. Mr. Posey Oyler, Cave Spring District, said the Board should not be
afraid to aplit the ballot and let the citizens decide if they wanted both. Mr.
Tom Johnson, Vinton Director of Parks and Recreation, asked the Supervisors why
they preferred not be split the question. Supervisor Myers advised that the two
should be combined because of the great need for both.
Supervisor Tompkins motion to split the question was defeated by the
following recorded vote:
