Council approves return of Mike James car show with negotiated park fee and charity item
Summary
Scofield council voted to allow event organizer Mike James to run a car show next year under negotiated terms: a park rental fee ($250–$500) and an auction/raffle donation equivalent to his usual charity item; council asked staff to negotiate terms and return details.
The Scofield Town Council voted Sept. 8 to invite event organizer Mike James to return with a car show next year, provided the town secures a negotiated park rental fee and a charity donation item.
Debbie Redford, town clerk and council president, summarized that James had contacted the town and asked to hold the car show again. Becky Denison — who had organized previous shows and was uncertain about returning — and James both were mentioned as possible organizers. Councilmembers discussed options for the town to earn revenue from a car show, including taking 15–20 percent of entrance fees or a flat park rental between $250 and $500.
Councilmember Jim Langer moved and a colleague seconded a motion to approve James returning as organizer on the condition of a negotiated park rental fee between $250 and $500 and donation of an auction/raffle item equivalent to his prior charity contributions. The motion passed by voice vote.
Councilmembers said they would task staff to finalize negotiations with James, confirm his ability to produce the event, and seek commitments about admission fees and the charity item. Council discussion noted the town’s desire to raise modest revenue from the event without displacing previous charitable beneficiaries.
