Opinion No. (1991)

Terry R. Rottler Ste. Genevieve County Prosecuting Attorney 296 Market Street Ste. Genevieve, Missouri 63670

Dear Mr. Rottler:

This opinion is in response to your questions asking:

Can a county government conduct an advisory election submitting to the voters of the county a question of whether the county jail should be expanded and public funds expended for the construction of an addition to said structure?

If such an election has been conducted, what impact, if any, do the results have on the decision making authority of the county commission and county government regarding this particular issue?
