County Officials Consider Study Before Vote on Facility
FUNDS Commissioner F P Bodenheimer urged a study before the vote. He said the county should determine if the facility is a reasonable solution to future development and noted the city report may solve the city's problem or not solve ours. Commissioner Richard Maxwell warned the study could delay the process. Bodenheimer noted many county residents question whether the city's actions are in the county's best interest.
