Baldwin agreed with Lane’s assessment, but other supervisors did not. Said Chairman Dick Latham, who opted for more in-depth discussion on the issue:
“I believe it’s premature to take any action now...I’d like to talk (more) to Mr. Estabrook.”
Lane was finished talking, however, and motioned not to go with masonry construction. Baldwin seconded the motion. The motion was defeated by a 3-2 vote, when supervisors Charles K. Estes, Hubert Gilkey III, and Chairman Latham cast opposing votes.
Throughout the meeting, Lane led the charge for cutting bucks for the proposed budget. On five occasions, Lane motioned for funding reductions or deletions. In most instances, other supervisors joined in, but drew the line when the slashing edge, like an ax too frequently pounded into turf, got a little blunt.
At one point, Lane motioned to knock off one more penny, which would have further reduced the real estate levy to $0.49.
The supervisors were in favor of such a motion, but more discussion revealed it may not be realistic.
A last-minute request by Zoning Administrator David Konick for additional funding also was considered and approved, following discussion by the supervisors.
