Crook County commissioners approve 50% arena-fee waiver for hospice auction and a fee waiver for Humane Society fundraiser
Loading...
Summary
The board agreed to split a roughly $2,200 arena rental fee for a hospice auction and approved a separate waiver for the Humane Society's fundraising event after brief public comment and motions recorded on the docket.
Crook County commissioners voted to waive half of the fairgrounds arena rental fee for the Saint Charles Foundation hospice auction and later approved a separate fee waiver for the Humane Society's fundraiser.
"It would be roughly $1,100 for us and $1,100 for you," Anna Contreras, representing Saint Charles Foundation, told the board when she described the requested split of an approximately $2,200 rental fee. Commissioner (speaker 7) moved to waive 50% of the fees for the hospice auction; the motion was seconded and approved by recorded aye votes.
Shortly after, Heather Ford, operations manager at the Humane Society thrift store, asked the board to waive fees for an upcoming "Lucky Dogs Casino Night" fundraising event. Commissioners discussed the amount on the record, a motion was made and seconded, and the board voted in favor.
Both actions were presented during the public-comment portion of the meeting and then formalized with board motions recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: County staff will process the fee-waiver approvals with the fairgrounds office and execute the billing adjustments.
