The Black Leadership Roundtable is asking black

Nov. 8 for or against a $35 million city-county bond
package that emphasizes jobs and education.
*'There are all types of questions that need to be
asked," says Mel White, city executive for Mechanics
' 7 just don *t think it 'sfair to ask people to vote
for something when the benefit coming backlo

for turning an initial $5 million investment from the

"The transfer (of the deed) - whether by lease or purchase

Archia, who said that he not only represented Green, but
voiced the sentiments of black citizens throughout Forsyth
County.
Archia also asked the commissionefs if the hospital
reorganization, which becomes effective Jan. 1, will continue
to guarantee health care for the county's poor,

Skeptical I
nd Package
The Roundtable has, however, expressed skepticism
about several aspects of the package, and is not satisfied
that the city is doing enough to meet its housing needs. I
Of the $35 million earmarked for use inthe package,_l
the city is requesting $23 million and the county another
$12 million - $7.5 million to partially finance the 1
reorganization of the city-county schools and $4.5
million for the expansion of Forsyth Technical Institute.
The city would use the majority of its portion, $15
million, to expand the Benton Convention Center to attract
more visitors. The rest would be used to "finance an
industrial park," arrnrriing tn a brochure distributed by
the pro-referendum Citizens' Committee For Jobs And
Education Referendum, "that could create 4,000 new
jobs, ... significant downtown improvements to draw in
provements for neighborhoods adjacent to downtown."
What's missing, says White, is a plan that addresses the
city's housing needs.
"This (city's bond package) is a long-range projection

and Associates to explain the plan, and said the
reorganization is needed to offset the rising cost of
medical care. A task force created by the hospital
authority's trustees to study the corporate reorganization
of Forsyth Memorial issued a report Sept. 15 that recommends
the following:
Tfie^reattoirof a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation to
serve as the parent holding company for tax-exenjpt subsidiaries.
the transfer of land, buildings and other physical assets
of Forsyth Memorial from Forsyth County to the holding
company.
the governance of the reorganized structure by a
19-member board, with 12 members appointed by the
county commissioners.

"We are really pushing recruitment," he says. "The
word is going out; the information is getting there; and
we think we are going to get a lot more black applicants."
Beaufort Bailey, who serves on the board of trustees
and introduced the policy, says he would like to have seen
a stronger statement, but is content that Forsyth Tech is
determined to increase its number of minority faculty and
students.
