Commissioners approve funding commitments for a student trip, Disabled Outdoorsman event and ATV rally dinner
Summary
The board voted to cover shortfalls for an Escalante sixth-grade Washington, D.C., trip, to budget up to $2,000 annually for the Disabled Outdoorsman Youth Shed Hunt, and to match last year—s ATV rally dinner support up to $5,000.
Garfield County commissioners approved three separate funding actions to support local community events and student travel.
Escalante sixth-grade trip: students asked the commission for assistance to cover trip costs. The students requested $500 per student as a fundraising goal; commissioners approved a motion to cover any shortfalls after student fundraising so that all students who want to attend can go. The contribution is contingent on the amounts the students raise; commissioners did not specify a fixed county dollar amount at the meeting.
Disabled Outdoorsman Youth Shed Hunt: organizers presented a video and participants described the event as serving families and children with disabilities. Commissioners voted to budget up to $2,000 annually to support the event (food and related costs), with a motion and second recorded and the vote carried.
ATV rally (Pangewood/Pangwich rally) dinner: organizers requested county support for the Saturday rider dinner. Commissioners voted to match the previous year—s support, up to $5,000, and the motion passed by voice vote.
Each motion was made and seconded on the record and passed on voice vote; staff were directed to include the event support in budgeting and to follow any contingency language discussed (for example, contingent support after students raise funds).
