Treasurer requests Elko County sponsorship for Ruby Mountain Resource Center fundraiser; committee advises individual donations
Summary
Elko County Treasurer Cheryl Paul asked the budget committee to consider sponsoring a Ruby Mountain Resource Center Bunko Night fundraiser in March. Committee members said the sponsorship should come from individuals rather than county funds.
Cheryl Paul, Elko County Treasurer, told the Budget Committee she serves on the board of the Ruby Mountain Resource Center and asked whether Elko County would sponsor a Bunko Night fundraiser planned in March.
"I was hoping to get Elko County to sponsor this," Paul said, noting the center "started in 1969 by Cesar Salicki" and that she was seeking county support. Committee members said the request came too late to be noticed on the agenda and that sponsorship should be offered by individuals rather than as county funding.
Nut graf: The committee did not take formal action on the request. Several committee members volunteered to contribute personally, and one suggested forwarding a $200 request to the Board of County Commissioners if members wished to pursue formal county sponsorship at a subsequent meeting.
Chair and members encouraged individual donations and said they could revisit any formal county sponsorship request after appropriate agenda notice.
Ending: No formal county sponsorship was approved during the meeting; members said they would consider the request through normal agenda and budget processes if the matter is resubmitted.
