County approves $1,000 sponsorship for annual environmental fair; cost split among three departments
Summary
Bannock County approved its routine $1,000 sponsorship of the City of Pocatello's environmental fair, with the landfill, mosquito abatement and noxious weed programs sharing the cost from outreach budgets; the event is run by Pocatello with multiple local partners.
Bannock County commissioners approved a $1,000 sponsorship for the annual environmental fair, the county’s public information officer said, with the cost split among three county departments.
Emma Iannacon, Bannock County public information officer, told the board the sponsorship has been provided annually and that the cost is split between the landfill, mosquito abatement and noxious weed departments. Iannacon said the funds will come from each department’s outreach line item, a process confirmed with auditing.
Iannacon said the fair is run by the City of Pocatello and includes local partners such as Simplot, the potato plant in American Falls, conservation groups including River Vision and the Port of Greenway. She described the event as primarily geared to environmental causes and community participation in preservation efforts. The transcript records mention of CCOG as the fiscal sponsor on the event documentation; the role of CCOG beyond remitting payment was not defined in the meeting remarks.
A commissioner moved to approve the sponsorship as requested. The motion passed by voice vote with commissioners saying "aye." Specific contract language or additional sponsorship amounts were not provided during the discussion.
