Wild Tribe City Council approves $150 donation for youth livestock exhibitors
Summary
At its Aug. 6 meeting the Wild Tribe City Council approved a $150 donation to support youth livestock exhibitors at the Yosemite County Fair after a request from local exhibitors; the motion passed unanimously as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Wild Tribe City Council approved a $150 donation to support youth livestock exhibitors at the Yosemite County Fair during its meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
The request came from Rolly Coates, who introduced his sister, first‑year exhibitor Ray Fleet. Ray told the council she was "excited for my first year," and asked for assistance to help cover show and sale costs that families often use for college funds or to buy next year’s animals.
Council action followed. According to the meeting transcript, "a motion by councilor in Ukraine for a $150" was made and "seconded by councilor Anderson." Members recorded in the audio as voting "Yes" were Warner, Crane, Hill and Anderson; the presiding officer announced the motion passed.
Councilors and community members discussed how donated funds would flow through the sale process so exhibitors receive proceeds after showing. Speakers noted sale prices for animals can vary (examples cited in the meeting ranged from about $100 up to $600 or more), and encouraged avenues such as presales and selling advertisement space to offset printing or event costs for youth programs.
The council wished the exhibitors luck as the meeting closed that item.
Next steps: the council did not record any additional conditions on the donation in the transcript; any administrative steps to transfer the funds were discussed informally during the meeting.
