Daggett County approves $3,850 TRT purchase for Cow Country Rodeo music act
Summary
The Daggett County Commission approved a $3,850 Transient Room Tax (TRT) purchase request to hire Salty Mountain Music LLC (Caleb Austin) for a Cow Country Rodeo event. The board approved the purchase request by voice vote after discussion of rodeo-related funding items.
An unidentified commissioner moved to approve a purchase request from the county’s TRT fund for $3,850 to Salty Mountain Music LLC, represented in the meeting by Caleb Austin; another commissioner seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote.
The item was presented as a purchase request, not a final purchase order, with the presenter noting the payment fits within allowable TRT expenses. The stated purpose is to attract more attendees to Friday-night rodeo programming to encourage overnight stays and local lodging revenue; an attendee said the Friday-night band is intended to entice visitors to arrive earlier and stay in local hotels or rentals.
Commissioners discussed whether Cow Country Rodeo operations should be handled by other entities if local volunteer groups become unable to run the event long term, but several members said they value maintaining the rodeo and supported the purchase to help event viability. The vendor was recorded in the packet as Salty Mountain Music LLC; Caleb Austin was identified in the discussion as the contact for the act.
The motion was moved and seconded on the record and approved by voice vote (the record shows board members saying "Aye" twice during the roll call). No formal roll-call tally with member names appears in the transcript. The commission then moved on to correspondence and calendar items.
