County Court discusses possible action after levy defeat
Morrow County Court m et Tues
day m orning April 2 in a special
work session to discuss possible
action following the March 26 defeat
of the County O perating Levy
The Court proposed the following
[Missible reasons for the lev y ’s fail
ure
lack of support from ru ral voters,
a larger percentage of whom stayed
away from the polls than in past
elections
s m a lle r p e rc e n ta g e of " y e s
votes from lone than in previous
years.
levy w as defeated in lleppner, the
most populated precinct.
m em bers of the court had heard
several people express dissatisfac
lion with services provided by the
hospital and
the budget w asn't adequately
supported by the county
The Court rejected the possibility
of subm itting the budget for voters
to approve each sep arate fund rath
er than a total levy proposal
Reasons cited by the Com m issioners
Irx Rauch and Jerry Reck were that
som etim es a levy would bo defeated
just because it had tieen divided and
that the hospital portion of the levy
would probably suffer
Before resubm itting the budget
lexx to the voters in the May 21
election the Court will meet with
various com m ittees representing
the taxing funds in the hudgrt

Rayne How man explained
The other five taxing funds the
county general fund, the fair and
rodeo fund the hospital fund North
Morrow Medical Clinic, and the
G eneral Road D epartm ent fund will
be considered for possible budget
cuts The budget also contains 14
non taxing funds
Although the G eneral Fund in
eludes services which a re not m an

money allocated to the Weed Dist

Conservation Service, the Museum,
the F air and Rodeo, and the Kxten
sion Service should not I n - decreased

The Court set next Tuesday . April

the balance of the budget com m ittee
and with representatives of the fair
and rodeo board, the hospital board,
and the road departm ent
The i ourt also decided that after a
new levy is proposed they will
accept help of volunteers, three of
whom have already contacted the
court, to publicize the levy and the
