He stated he had done some sampling and received some frowns when he talked 131 <br />about selling the golf course. He stated he couldn’t see spending this money without knowing 132 <br />whether it was being spent wisely. 133 <br /> 134 <br />Commissioner Stigney stated he thought it was money well spent, and that it would offer a big 135 <br />advantage to the tax base rather than draining it at a loss, and that that was one of the things that 136 <br />they are there to look at, and he is all for proceeding with this. 137 <br /> 138 <br />Commissioner Marty stated that unless they move forward with this, they will not know what the 139 <br />possibilities or ramifications are, and that he felt it was their responsibility to at least explore the 140 <br />options available. 141 <br /> 142 <br />Commissioner Gunn stated she agreed with Commissioners Stigney and Marty. 143 <br /> 144 <br />President Linke stated that he was of the same mind as Commissioner Quick; however, he was 145 <br />looking at the cost, and since they didn’t have a survey of that property, it would be a good idea 146 <br />to get it anyway. He stated he had let everybody know how he felt about the other expenditures, 147 <br />but he would be voting for this one. 148 <br /> 149 <br /> Ayes-4 Nays-1 (Quick) Motion carried. 150 <br /> 151 <br />7.
