Mr. Dick, board chairman, thanked everyone for coming and
at this time he read from a prepared statement explaining what
the county plans to do in an effort to reach an agreement with
the City of Winchester as to whether the county offices will
remain downtown or move out into the county.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that this is the plan the board feels
needs to become a reality, if the county offices are to remain
down town. He further explained that as far as the issue of any
future annexation by the city, the board feels that no
annexation proceedings can begin until the 5 years are up. He
did further explain that other alternatives have been discussed,
such as possibly reducing this time, perhaps after the fourth
year, but he did not feel the board was willing to compromise
much beyond that point.
At this time the press asked various questions concerning
the office building currently owned by Courthouse Associates,
what role F&M Bank was playing in all of this.
Mr. Smith noted that the county's option on the property
belonging to Courthouse Associates expires on September 14,
1993.
Mr. Longerbeam noted that any annexation talks will also
expire at that time.
In closing Mr. Dick stated that the board had put the plan
out, as they wanted everyone to be informed. He further stated
that this is not something new, and that annexation is not new,
4'05
and that he feels the people have heard enough and that it is
time to move on.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THIS BOARD,
THIS MEETING IS HEREBY ADJOURNED.
