Board approves $2,400 gaming-fund purchase of two Siouxland Chamber tables
Summary
The Woodbury County Board approved buying two tables for the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce annual meeting using $2,400 from the county gaming fund; the board noted about $54,000 is currently available in that fund.
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved using $2,400 from the county’s gaming fund to purchase two tables for the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce annual meeting.
The board was told roughly $54,000 remains available in the county gaming fund. A supervisor argued the funds are discretionary and not taxpayer revenue, saying for the public record that “that’s non taxpayers' money” and that the county has used gaming funds for this purpose in prior years.
Supervisor Vintzer moved to purchase two tables and use gaming-fund dollars to pay the cost; Supervisor Carper seconded the motion. The board voted unanimously to approve the expenditure (5-0).
Ending: The purchase was characterized as part of the county’s longstanding practice of community sponsorships from gaming funds. The meeting did not include further detail about the vendor or seating arrangements.
