Spencer County Fiscal Court approves $10,000 support for Octoberfest
Summary
The Fiscal Court approved a $10,000 donation for Octoberfest after amendments and debate; the event organizer had requested $5,000 plus porta‑potties and dumpsters and reported more than 12,000 attendees last year. Record does not explicitly confirm approval of porta‑potties/dumpsters.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court voted July 15 to provide $10,000 in financial support for Octoberfest after deliberations and a sequence of amendments.
Organizer Chase Harrod told the Court the festival drew more than 12,000 people last year and requested $5,000 plus porta‑potties and dumpsters. An initial motion to provide $5,000 passed, Judge Scott Travis proposed increasing the amount to $15,000 but that proposal failed for lack of a second. The Court then amended the motion to provide $10,000; the amended motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
The minutes record the dollar amounts and the final approved donation. The meeting minutes do not explicitly restate whether porta‑potties or dumpsters were granted as part of the final motion; the original request included those items but the recorded motion approving $10,000 does not specify them.
