Board votes to set 2026 festival concessions prices at last year’s rates
Summary
At a meeting, the board moved to set festival concessions pricing for 2026 equal to last year’s prices after a brief vote; the decision followed an earlier executive session called to discuss marketing and pricing strategies.
At a meeting, the Chair requested a motion to set festival concessions pricing for 2026. The Director moved to set 2026 prices at last year’s levels; after a voice vote of "aye," the motion carried.
The item came after an executive session the board held to "discuss marketing and or pricing strategies of a publicly owned competitive business," which the Chair cited under "SDCL 1 dash 25 dash 2 5" when moving into closed session. The meeting returned to open session and proceeded to the concessions pricing motion. The meeting transcript does not record details discussed during the executive session.
The motion to set pricing was presented by the Director; no formal tally by member name was recorded in the public portion of the transcript and no amendments were proposed. Following the vote the Chair declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned.
Next steps: the transcript records no additional direction about publishing new prices or authority delegated to staff; implementation details were not specified in the public record.
