No, answered Baumgardner, because a Recreation Authority would have its own fund raising capability.
George Davis interjected that a Recreation Authority would be a separate entity, more like the County Water and Sewer Authority.
“Sounds like it’s worth considering,” commented Supervisor Butch Eastham.
The only difference between creating an Authority and keeping the Recreation Association as it's run now would be that the Authority could solicit state and federal funds, noted Supervisor H. B. Wood.
“How much authority would we have over the Authority?” asked Eastham.
‘‘A lot,” Baumgardner replied, noting that the Supervisors would appoint members to the Authority’s board of commissioners.
Luke stated that he’d like to explore any potential problems that may be involved in the change with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. “Are there any objections to having the Recreation Association and our attorney work together?” he asked. None were presented.
“We’ll submit an ordinance (establishing an Authority) to your attorney for review," Baumgardner volunteered.
In other action, the Supervisors appointed Jennings Hobson as the Board’s representative to the Emergency Services Council and set July 13 at 10 a.m. in the courthouse for a public hearing on Jay Dawson’s proposed large lot subdivision near Huntly.
Before adjourning, the Board withdrew to executive session to discuss pending litigation and "the probable purchase of land for a landfill” that would be owned and operated by the county.
