Rangely council approves March financial summary and Roar special-event permit

Rangely Town Council voted to approve the March financial summary and granted a special-event permit for the Elk BPOE Lodge 1907’s Roar event on April 26.

Council member Tim moved to approve the March financial summary as presented; Kyle seconded. After a brief call for discussion, the council voted "Aye" and the motion carried.

On the Roar special-event permit, the council asked an event representative, Chris, to summarize event controls. Chris said the event will be set up at Coline Park "just like we do with Buck and Bull," with entrances posted and wristbands used to verify age for any alcohol service. Andy moved to approve the permit; Sean seconded. The council voted in favor and the motion carried.

Nut graf: Both votes were routine approvals intended to finalize month-end accounting and to clear logistics for an upcoming community event; council members emphasized standard safety measures for alcohol service at park events.

Council attendees asked that county officials be notified of the revised event date; the clerk said she would notify the county administrator the next morning. No formal amendments or conditions beyond the described wristband and signage controls were recorded in the meeting transcript.
