Committee moves Evergreen State Fair food‑drive sponsorship to consent calendar; sponsorship covers $5,000 cash and $52,750 trade value
Summary
The committee moved a long‑standing Evergreen State Fair food drive sponsorship with Lee Johnson Auto Family—covering $5,000 in cash and $52,750 in trade value—to GLS for consent‑agenda consideration; the drive exchanges five nonperishable food items for one weekday gate admission (limit five tickets per person).
Snohomish County staff briefed the committee on May 20 about the Evergreen State Fair food drive and a sponsorship agreement with Lee Johnson Auto Family that supports free weekday admission in exchange for food donations.
Ryan Hanbury said the fair’s food drive allows members of the public to donate five nonperishable, unexpired food items and receive one free weekday fair‑gate admission (no more than five tickets per person). Hanbury said the sponsorship costs $5,000 in cash and $52,750 in trade value as described in the agreement’s schedule A.
The nut graf: the food drive is an established fair tradition used to collect food for local food banks and to encourage attendance; the county seeks to place the sponsorship on the consent agenda for GLS consideration.
With no objections, the committee moved the sponsorship item to GLS on May 28 for consideration on the consent agenda.
No substantive policy debate occurred during the presentation.
