37 <br />3 <br />attendance at both of the Public Hearings on this issue. This Task <br />Force needs documentation and that has not yet happened. He asked <br />for suggestions of better ways to reach the citizens. <br />It was suggested that conducting a survey at Hog Day, and /or a <br />newspaper or telephone survey, would be more effective than asking <br />people to come to meetings. <br />In response to a question from Steven Levine, Linda Carver <br />indicated that the Task Force would have an expert in local <br />elections address them at their June 30th meeting and study the <br />current and alternative voting methods. <br />Earl Davis stated that he and one other person collected 700 <br />signatures at last year's Hog Day celebration requesting district <br />representation. <br />Lee Mortimer asked that statistics be requested from the Board of <br />Elections showing what percentage of eligible voters actually voted <br />for their Commissioners during the last. election. The results <br />would be sobering. However, those same statistics for the previous <br />election (when a Presidential candidate was not being elected) <br />would show even less involvement. <br />Warren Ray, of Bingham Township, commented that most people were <br />not aware that this meeting was being held. More notice needs to <br />be given to citizens to encourage their participation. <br />The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting of this Task <br />Force will be held on June 30, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. in the Government <br />Services Center, Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Aathleen Baker, Deputy Clerk <br />
