NOTE:  A motion was made but not seconded to abandon the bond issue (at the 8/18/10 BOE meeting).  Since it was not seconded by any BOE member, no vote was taken.  Therefore, the referendum to issue $27M in working cash bonds will be printed on the November 2nd ballot.

Tuesday, November 2nd - Referendum for $27M Working Cash Bonds on the Ballot
