The Ways and Means Committee approved a contract with Tall Pines ATV Park to host a Joseph Dwyer program event, with committee members asking for clarification on the contract's $20,000 figure before the formal resolution vote.
The committee took the action after the county administrator explained the contract would cover one of the Dwyer events to be held at Tall Pines ATV Park. When a legislator asked, "What exactly is the 20,000 for? Is that just to use the location?" the county administrator replied he was not the staff member handling the contract details but believed the amount covered the entire day of events and offered to provide precise information before a final vote on the resolution.
The motion to approve the contract was made and seconded during the meeting and the committee carried the motion by voice vote. Committee members asked that staff provide a full breakdown of the $20,000 amount prior to the final resolution vote.
The meeting record shows approval to proceed with the contract, with staff committed to supplying detail on contract scope and cost allocation before the resolution vote.
