Board awards $1,307.49 and a one-time facility fee waiver to Fallon Animal Welfare Group
Summary
The commissioners approved a revised $1,307.49 funding request and waived the $500 Pennington Life Center rental fee for one event, supporting the volunteer-run Fallon Animal Welfare Group's spay/neuter and adoption activities.
The Fallon Animal Welfare Group, represented by secretary Debbie Joliff, requested reduced funding and a one-time facility fee waiver to support a fundraiser and the group's volunteer-run animal care services.
Joliff described the organization's all-volunteer operations, monthly adoption days, spay/neuter work and use of donated funds. She said the group had requested $3,000 but the county offered a reduced amount; she asked the board to waive the $500 rental fee for one event at the Pennington Life Center to expand capacity for a planned bingo fundraiser. "We are a totally nonprofit group, all volunteer run," Joliff said.
A motion to approve $1,307.49 in funding and to waive the $500 rental fee for the one-time event was moved, seconded and carried.
