SEVEC,{JOHN MAZZA, COMMISSIONERS progress has been made concerning the redivision of certain precincts in the County; namely Fallowfield 1st Precinct, Somerset and South Strabane 4th Precinct. These precincts being completed earlier in the year by the Election Department and Registration Office. Mr. Quail stated that the decision now rests with the Courts as to approval or disapproval of the redivision proposed by the Election Department This resulted because of objections raised by the citizens of said districts. Mr. Capano: The decision must come from the Courts. I will approach the Courts today and will request a re -hearing in this matter as soon as possible for early in the first part of the year. Mr. Flynn advised Mr. Quail to make a survey and have maps drawn as to Ward redivision8. Mr. Flynn asked if there was any further business to come before the Board. Mr. Bevec: As to the proposed detention home, our real estate broker, Mr. Amar-ati, I is presently on vacation. It is my understanding that a recent hearing of the Zoning Board of South Strabane Township was held and that a multitude of objections were voiced by the citizens of the South Strabane Township area to having a detention home located there. It is very doubtful that we will receive approval for this proposed, site. I believe' it will be necessary for the Board to look elsewhere or it may be necessary for us to erect a , detention home on property presently owned by the County. Mr. Flynn: This property" could have. been purchased for approximately $15, 000. 00. Mr. Bevec: This would have been a sound economic investment. The location is excellent. be adjourned. Motion by Mr.' Bevec, seconded by Mr. Mazza, that the meeting Meeting adjourned. THE FOREGOING MINUTE READ AND APPROVED: ecemq�r 17 1964 ATTEST: CHIEF CLERK / NO. 64 .V Ji .4J J.
