Supervisors Back $2,000 Sponsorship for ‘Battle on the Border’ Youth Livestock Show, Ask for More Details
Summary
Supervisor Dalton asked the board to sponsor the Battle on the Border youth livestock show at $2,000; the board agreed to move the item to the business agenda and requested more information on sponsorship benefits and budget source.
The board unanimously supported moving forward with a $2,000 county sponsorship for the Battle on the Border youth livestock and showmanship event, but supervisors asked staff for more detail on what the funds will support and where the money will be drawn from.
Supervisor Dalton, who requested the support, said the event brings economic activity — more than 300 hotel rooms had been reserved, he said — and provides youth activities tied to livestock showmanship at the ODAT facility. He asked the board to repeat last year’s sponsorship.
Supervisor Bowman asked whether the request is recurring and whether the board should place the commitment in the annual budget; Dalton said he expected the event to recur and that staff would provide details on sponsorship levels and exactly what the county’s $2,000 would fund.
Outcome: The board asked staff to add the $2,000 sponsorship request to the business-meeting agenda and to provide written information on sponsorship benefits and the appropriate budget line to charge. No formal appropriation was made during the work session.
