BOARD DISCUSSES ACQUISITION OF LAND WITH KOON FAMILY Mr. Koontz asked Mr. Robert Koon, Jr. if he had anything he would like to say to the Board. Mr. Koon stated there are several things that the Board and his family should be able to sit down and discuss that he felt could not be discussed at a meeting such as this. He stated that one thing that concerned him and he would like to have an answer for, is if the Frederick - Winchester Service Authority does condemn their farm are they going to charge his family $1300 a month rent for them to stay on the farm, and also are they going to provide protection for his cattle from the holes that are being dug on the property at this time. Mr. Koon stated that he was also concerned as to whether or not they were going to be compensated for the loss of their crops. Mr. Koontz asked Mr. Koon if he had met with Mr. Jones and Mr. Riley in order that these questions might be answered. Mr. Koon stated that he did not trust Mr. Jones or Mr. Riley half as far as he could throw them at this point. He stated that he felt he should have something in writing so he would know where he stood. Upon motion made by William H. Baker, seconded by Will L. Owings, that the County advance $80,000 to the Frederick - Winchester Service Authority for the purpose of depositing toward acquisition of property by the Frederick- Winchester Service Authority. The above resolution was passed by the following recorded vote: Aye - S. Roger Koontz, Will L. Owings, William H. Baker, Rhoda W. Maddox and David L. Smith. Abstain - Kenneth Y. Stiles. Mr. Stiles asked if this action did not include discussions between the Service Authority and Mr. Koon about whatever rent, if any, would be charged, is that correct? Mr. Koontz stated that was correct. Discussion followed with the Koon family and the Board with reference to what this was doing to their farm and dairy operation. Mr. Stiles stated that he felt Mr. Koon probably would stand to come out better from the condemnation proceedings and the hearing than he would from what the Board and City would jointly offer him in this matter, and 71 even if the County would agree to this proposal it would not get the Koon's anywhere as the City would still have to agree to it. Mr. Stiles further stated that the Board had purchased two pieces of property in the last six or seven years, one piece of property being on 522 at Apple Pie Ridge and paid $4000 an acre and had purchased another piece of property North of Middletown that does not even have frontage on the Highway and also paid $4000 an acre, now we come along and the authority, which this Board has established, has offered what basically amounts to about $1200 an acre for the land itself, exclusive of the house and buildings, for a piece of property on Route 7. He stated that such action was beyond him to understand. SCHOOL BOARD TERM FROM GAINESBORO DISTRICT EXPIRES ON JUNE 30 - NOMINATING COMMITTEE WILL BE NAMED TO SELECT NOMINEE Mrs. Maddox stated that the School Board seat from Gainesboro District will expire in June and she will be selecting her nominating committee in order that she might name her selection by the end of April.
