Colfax County Lodger’s Tax Advisory Board tables promotional funding request, hears Wild Divide update
Summary
At its Aug. 12 meeting the Colfax County Lodger’s Tax Advisory Board unanimously tabled a promotional funding request for an incomplete application and heard an update from Patricia Duran on Wild Divide’s new website and staff training. The board noted a missing set of June 3 minutes, scheduled its next meeting for Sept. 9 and adjourned at 9:28 a.m.
The Colfax County Lodger’s Tax Advisory Board on Aug. 12 unanimously tabled a promotional funding request and accepted a status update on Wild Divide during a meeting called to order by Chair Laurie Bunker at 9:05 a.m.
Michael Muniz, the county’s new Lodger Tax clerk, moved to table the promotional funding request submitted by Kriti Graham (the record also spells the name “Kristi”); Laurie Bunker seconded and the motion passed with all members present voting in favor. Muniz told the board the application lacked essential details, including event dates and vendor quotes, and instructed that the applicant must submit a complete application at least 45 days before the event for the board to consider funding.
The board also noted that a planned informational presentation by Laura Brewer of the Ratonian did not occur; Muniz said he had called and emailed Brewer but received no response. Patricia Duran of CCI provided an update on Wild Divide, reporting that a new website is live and that she is training Soriah Martinez to operate site functions. Duran said she expects Martinez to be running operations shortly and the board requested another status update at the next meeting.
Board member Michael Muniz reported he could not find the June 3, 2024 meeting minutes in the materials available at the Aug. 12 meeting. The draft minutes document contains a signature block marked "Approved June 3, 2024," a discrepancy the board did not resolve during the session.
The board approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session (motion by Laurie Bunker; second by Michael Muniz) and adjourned at 9:28 a.m. after a motion to adjourn by Muniz and a second from Angel Campbell. The board set its next meeting for Sept. 9, 2024.
Actions recorded in the meeting minutes included: tabling the promotional funding request (motion: Michael Muniz; second: Laurie Bunker; outcome: passed, all in favor), approval of the meeting agenda (motion: Laurie Bunker; second: Michael Muniz; outcome: passed, all in favor), and adjournment (motion: Michael Muniz; second: Angel Campbell; outcome: passed, all in favor).
The meeting record lists board members present as Laurie Bunker, Michael Muniz, Michael Brown and Angel Campbell (remote). Patricia Duran and Soriah Martinez were listed as visitors. The minutes show no public comments were offered at the meeting.
