Commissioners cap county contribution for holiday partnership invoice
Summary
After reviewing an invoice from the county foundation that included a $5,000 donation request tied to Terry Foster Hall use, commissioners moved to cap the county—s contribution (discussion referenced a $10,000 cap) and directed staff to inform the foundation and return any formal request for the donation.
County staff told commissioners they had received an invoice from the County Foundation that included a $5,000 donation request associated with use of Terry Foster Hall for the holiday partnership. Commissioners questioned whether the donation had been formally requested this year and discussed the hall rental cost and the county—s community-benefit budgeting at the start of the budget season.
A commissioner noted the hall rental spanned 11 days and estimated the rental-only cost would be roughly $6,5002 (discussion included a few conflicting arithmetic remarks in the record). Commissioners proposed options including asking the foundation to make a formal donation request and capping the county—s contribution.
A motion was made and seconded to cap the county—s contribution (discussion referenced a $10,000 cap), and the chair called for a voice vote. Commissioners responded in the affirmative; the record documents the motion and a voice vote in favor but does not list a formal roll-call tally.
Staff said they would follow up with the foundation and clarify the invoice and the county—s intent to contribute under the cap.
