Ms. Bullingrton opened the moron for discussion. Ms. Childers asked to be put on the record as being against this building and that she would ba oting no onanew communityb lding at thin nme. She stated that this should be delayed fora year or two- Ms Childers Hated-1 was over [Pere last week and for threereasons. l cannot sea building one ngM at this nme. One is in environmental reasons. the ground is flat, so ifyou have a fire, ould just Flood everything, everything would be flooded out in the new building there. Andtthe trees, there is bigtrees over. both in the parking space and in that venom lot, that they are going to have cut down. Now, l am not forthat either. The second reason is at this meeting I was trying to canvas some people to see whet their thoughts were on building a ew building Cor $100,000 to $150,000. of which would come out of the I.ongwood's pocket, end Judy Putz walked up to me_ I very innocently walked up to her end said whet do you think end she said she would not discuss it with me. She would not have nothing to say to meand she rued on her Feels. and she walked off Well, that kind of did ajob on me. The third is the Commissioners say that it will bee place Por the seniors end the young people Well the seniors an play their cards, I'm a senior myself. The seniors can play their cards or whatever in a refurbished building The oNy thingl can see insidethnt building right now that needs fixing is the ceiling it s water. it s got a lot ofwater problems well that s because the reinjust comes in n top ofthat building. It could be fxed, especially for a year or two. The young people letthem play somewhere else. IfLOngwood won't find a Dlace for animals and people during a storm and a fire. like f ve asked them to. then why should kids have anything either. Again. I say fix it up. Solvote no, andlwant all this[o go on the record.Now, all the commissioners know howif 1 about this already" Ms. 6ullington asked if there was any outer discussion.
