| MAHD Board Rescinds 2013 Action; No Special Election To Increase Cap RateThursday, March 06, 2014
During its Thursday, Feb. 27, regular meeting, the hospital district board voted to rescind its May 23, 2013, action calling for a special election to raise its 40 cent tax rate cap.Addressing the issue during Thursday’s meeting, Muleshoe City Secretary LeAnn Gallman — with whom the hospital district contracted to administer its election, said that after reviewing the minutes from the May 23, 2013, meeting it was her opinion that it was the board’s intent to place the issue before the voters.After the Muleshoe Journal noted the board action calling for the election earlier this year, MAHD officials reportedly denied the fact, but an examination of the organization’s minutes proved otherwise.“I believe that you did intend to order the election at that time,” Gallman said, leaving it to the board members Thursday to either rescind its earlier vote or to officially call for the election and place it on the May 10 ballot.
