Mitchell sports board elects officers, approves minutes and financial report
Summary
The Mitchell Sports and Events Authority re-elected its chair, selected a vice chair and approved December minutes and an updated financial report in a voice vote; detailed tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
The Mitchell Sports and Events Authority elected Jason to continue as chair and selected Jerry Thompson as vice chair, and the board approved minutes from its Dec. 4 meeting and an updated financial report, all by voice vote.
The chair nomination for Jason was made from the floor and carried after a voice vote; the transcript does not record who moved or seconded the nomination by name. The nomination of Jerry Thompson for vice chair was moved by Tim and seconded by Jeff and carried by voice vote. The board then approved the Dec. 4 minutes after a motion by Jason and a second by Tim. Later in the meeting, the financial report was presented and the board approved it following a motion by Jeff and a second.
Board staff presented year-end numbers for the Sports and Events Authority (SEA) fund: 2024 award checks totaled $118,360, leaving a fund balance of $31,640 that the presenter said will be earmarked for SEA and shown as a line item in the 2025 budget. The board also designated $150,000 for SEA in fiscal year 2025 and has one committed item — $12,000 for the Special Olympics state basketball event — leaving an available SEA allocation of about $138,000 for the authority’s first meeting in 2025, according to the presenter. The transcript indicates additional 2024 bills remain and final numbers are expected in February.
No roll-call vote counts were recorded in the meeting transcript; outcomes are reported as voice votes (recorded as "aye" or "nay" orally). The meeting closed routine business and moved into public input and other agenda items.
