Community fundraiser seeks fee waiver; council moves to approve but vote not recorded
Summary
Park County Bridal Council representative Ryan asked the council to waive fees for a Celebrity for a Cause softball fundraiser; celebrities were named and proceeds described as a patient assistance fund. A motion was moved and seconded but the meeting transcript does not show a final vote.
Ryan, representing the Park County Bridal Council, asked the Powell City Council to waive fees for a Celebrity for a Cause snowball softball tournament described in the meeting record as an April event (date as read into the record is garbled).
Ryan said proceeds will not go directly to a hospital but will be placed in a fund to help patients with co-pays, out-of-pocket medical costs and travel expenses. He named several high-profile athletes expected to attend, including Terrell Davis, Ed McCaffrey, Andre Reed and Derrick Bull, and said the event is a pre-fundraiser for a larger event scheduled in June.
A council member moved to approve the waiver and another council member seconded the motion. The transcript records the motion and second but does not include a recorded vote or outcome.
Why it matters: If approved, a fee waiver would reduce the council’s revenue from rental or permit fees and support a local fundraiser that the speaker said provides direct financial assistance to patients.
Council did not record details about which specific fees would be waived or the expected dollar value of the waiver in the transcript.
