The remainder of the meeting was spent discussing the need for expansion with Mr. Grimes and Dr. Todd. Mr. Grimes reported that he had done some checking on available funding and would do more. He said that HUD had not been encouraging and that we could have a general obligation bond if federal funding fails. Ttje possibility of funding and/or help from the Chamber of Commerce, the county, and foundations was discussed. A general obligation bond would have to be voted on in November 1978 or earlier in a special election. It was agreed that we should look for all possible help now so that if necessary we could plan on a vote well in advance of that date. The meeting was adjourned at 5:00. Martha Brewer Secretary
