Committee reviews fairgrounds overspending; staff expect reimbursements

Committee members noted a special-revenue overage at the fairgrounds, with supplies, purchase services and other expenses showing above-expected spending. Staff (S8,S3) explained the overspend resulted from approved withdrawals from reserves to cover audiovisual repairs at the Curlers Building and a lawnmower purchase, and they said some costs will be reimbursed by the partnering organization — an amount staff estimated at roughly $22,000.
