.�. Would the authority be willing to try to obtain the signatures of at least 10% of the
42,675 registered voters on the petition?
If this issue is held at a separate election, would the civic center authority be
willing to hold its election after the schools and water and sewer referenda?
Mr. Meletis said he thought this issue was important enough that it should be treated
as a separate issue and shouldn't "coat tail" school and water and sewer bond referenda.
In setting priorities for all the proposed bond referenda, Chairman Hedrick said it
was his belief that the following is the order in which they should occur:
(1) Schools
(2) Water and Sewer
(3) Civic Center
Mr. Meletis said he had in mind to have the civic center referendum in August or
September.
The county manager advised the board there were some legal restraints regarding when
a bond election can be held in respect to other elections. There also are some
administrative restraints, such as printing the ballots, etc., he said.
