Troutman: Is there anything else from either of the hospitals?
I guess it would be in order to say that this is the first time
that the county board of commissioners has publicly be able to
finally find out what was being proposed. We have been
involved with tours and different meetings with both hospital
boards. I think we have all individually met with the different
individuals at the hospitals, and they have tried to bring us
along as best they could. But as a board, this is the first
time that this board has been able to see exactly how much
money was proposed for general obligation bonds, what the payback
is. So those of you who are here just to see this information
tonight, you're seeing it for the first time. And so are we.
And I just wanted to be sure that you folks understood that;
and that is why at our last meeting, in order to get the mechanisms
of all the things that have to be done to have a bond referendum
in the November General Election, that we had to take certain
steps even before we actually knew the amounts and what was
going to be requested. So we have a good many questions to
ask; and at this time, I would ask any of our board members
if they have anything they would like to ask any of these hospital
people.
Campbell: Mr. Chairman, I would like to see the feasibility
study the hospitals have on the payback. I haven't had the
opportunity to see these figures. One or two things I was,
with the present state of our economy, your request is issue
bonds for the entire amount before we actually start. To me,
that might not be the proper way to go. I feel like that
