Commission appoints two applicants to Tourism Tax Advisory Board; chair to notify appointees
Summary
The commission voted to appoint Brian Tedesco and an applicant identified as Vanessa (last name inconsistent in the record) as full members of the Daggett County Tourism Tax Advisory Board; commissioners noted bylaws allow five to seven members and discussed quorum concerns.
Daggett County commissioners voted to appoint two applicants to the Tourism Tax Advisory Board during their April 11 meeting, increasing representation on the board and addressing a recurring quorum problem.
The commission appointed Brian Tedesco and an applicant identified in the meeting materials as Vanessa (packet name: Vanessa Kloser; discussion later referenced 'Vanessa Coulter') as full members. The motion was made, seconded and approved; the chair said the appointees would be notified and invited to the next board meeting in two weeks.
Commissioners discussed board composition and quorum. Staff noted the state statute requires at least five members; the local bylaws limit the board to no more than seven members. Commissioners said the board currently lacked restaurant representation and that adding Tedesco—identified in the packet as owner of Blaming Gorge Brewing Company—would help fill that gap. They also discussed whether naming an alternate would reduce tie votes if attendance fluctuates.
No changes to bylaws were adopted at the meeting. The appointment was confirmed by voice vote; the chair directed staff to notify the appointees and invite them to the upcoming advisory board meeting.
Recordings and the packet show some inconsistency in the spelling of Vanessa’s last name within the meeting. The article reflects both forms as recorded (Kloser in the application and Coulter during discussion); the county is expected to provide formal appointment letters with the correct spelling.
