Organizers ask Rhea County for $2,000 to help host July youth fishing tournament
Summary
The county was asked to contribute $2,000 toward a July youth and high-school fishing tournament, part of a $4,000 event budget split with the city; commissioners agreed to place the request on the agenda, contingent on Dayton's approval.
A county representative from the fishing committee told the commission that organizers are proposing a youth and high-school fishing tournament in mid-July and requested $2,000 from the county to cover part of a $4,000 budget. The committee requested the county match $2,000 from the city.
Speakers said the tournament would likely draw participants from neighboring counties and help fill hotels in the area. The city of Dayton has added a corresponding item to its agenda; the commission said the county's contribution would be contingent on city approval and placed the request on the county agenda for formal consideration.
Next steps: the request will be considered by the commission at a future agenda after the city of Dayton has acted.
