The meeting was opened by June Lormann, Chairman, and she said that due to lack of a quorum, the meeting would be informal discussion. She introduced Mr. Hattaway and Mr. Brantley and turned the meeting over to them for reports from Tallahassee. Mr. Hattaway informed those present that most of the time at the last session was devoted to reapportionment of districts and the lQ sales tax increase. He said the sales tax issue was quite controversial but his feeling is that if the population increases in the next ten years as it has in the past ten years, the increase is in the best interest of Seminole County and should afford some prop- erty tax relief. He also said he wanted to stress the importance of representation in Tallahassee from the"people at home" and said he wanted everyone to know how important it is for Mr. Knowles to go to Tallahassee and attend the sessions. Mr. Brantley discussed the reapportionment of districts and said it may make for costlier campaigning because of the size of the districts, and he would have pre- ferred a more compact district.
