So such a notice could appear as early as Wednesday, the 18th
(tomorrow). And if we followed that schedule of advertising tomorrow,
then the public hearing, could be held on Wednesday, the 25th,
or at any date after. the 25th that you pick through the 31st. It
would be difficult to meet the time schedule if you have not had
the public hearinp,; and if you choose to finally call for the
referendum after the public hearing, it would be difficult
to meet the time table to come after that unless final action
is taken by the 31st of August. To project why is because
should there be a referendum, absentee ballots must be prepared
not later than September 2nd and be available for absentee voters
to begin to vote, in effect two days after the 31st date. So
we can't cut it much closer if you go with the referendum.
But the next order would be to adopt on the first reading
the bond order, and I would say, Mr. Chairman, just as a way to
put a defense for the board, that that doesn't in any way bind
you to vote the same way the next time it comes up. It simply
keeps the matter moving forward.
