Supervisors decline $1,000 Highway 30 auto-tour app request
Summary
After reviewing materials and fundraising options, supervisors voted to decline a $1,000 sponsorship request from the Highway 30 audio-tour app and directed a supervisor to respond to the group.
The board considered a $1,000 sponsorship request from an organization promoting a Highway 30 audio-tour app and decided to decline.
Supervisors said the project looked like one better suited to private fundraising and expressed concern that a one-time contribution could become recurring. After a short discussion, a supervisor moved to decline the request and to respond; another supervisor seconded the motion. The board voted in favor and the motion carried.
Why it matters: the decision rejects use of county tax dollars for the requested promotional app and signals a preference for privately raised or business-supported tourism projects.
Next steps: a supervisor volunteered to send the county response declining the funding request.
