supporting the Bond Election as presented, Council Member
Hill seconded, motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Sylvia stated he voted for the resolution but
he had three caveat's for the record:
1. Buildings and education are not synonymous. There is no
recognizable correlation between education and physical
plant.
2. Holding of the tax rate for five years. Based on projected
figures published by the school district, the district
will grow by 94.9%. Council Member Sylvia pointed out that
the projections by economic theorists for the next five
years are flat if not decreasing.
3. "We do not know if the growth is coming in the school
district and my only problem with that is you are coming
to us for 22 million dollars, which I accept, with a tax
rate I do not think is going to hold at 24%". Council
Member Sylvia stated that if the growth doesn't come,
will the board come back and ask for another 22 million.
Council Member Sylvia noted the Board has done an
outstanding job but he wanted to express his opinions and
he will be voting for the bond issues.
Assistant Superintendent Hibbs commented that the "right"
kinds of education facilities are becoming more important all
of the time. The schools have to have facilities to train
students for the technology that is required in the work
force of tomorrow. Mr. Hibbs also stated that if the growth
does not come, the Board will not be back asking for
additional money.
