Rangely council approves special‑event permit for hospital’s Daisy and Pedal awards amid liquor‑permit clarification
Summary
The council approved a special‑event permit for the Rangely District Hospital Foundation’s Daisy and Pedal awards ceremony on Nov. 22 at the Elks Lodge after a foundation director described the nomination and award process; council raised — but did not block — a question about which entity must apply for the liquor permit and public‑notice timing.
Sierra Black, director of the Rangely District Hospital Foundation, described a new Daisy and Pedal awards program that recognizes hospital staff and asked the Town Council to approve a special‑event permit for a Nov. 22 ceremony at the Elks Lodge.
"The foundation has taken over the Daisy program...the pedal program stands for providing exceptional treatment and affirming lives," Black said, explaining that nominations were open for eight weeks and the board will award one Daisy and one Pedal honoree annually. She said nominations were redacted for board review and that nominees will receive a certificate and pin; honorees will receive a sculpture and national recognition on the Daisy website for the Daisy award.
Councilmembers moved to approve the special‑event permit. During discussion, members asked whether the Elks Lodge or the foundation should be the entity applying for the liquor portion of the permit; councilmembers noted the municipal liquor code requires a 10‑day public‑notice posting for special‑events liquor permits. Staff and members agreed to clarify application practice for future events but voted to approve the permit for this event as presented.
The council recorded no conditions that would prevent the ceremony from going forward; members said they would refine procedures to ensure the correct applicant and public‑notice timeline are used in future special‑events permits.
