Trustee flags alcohol sales, seating and vendor rules for expo and July 4 events
Summary
During new business at the June 29 meeting, Trustee Charlie Rogers reported on catering and alcohol arrangements for upcoming boxing events at the expo, urged distributed security and confirmed that outside vendor spaces for the July 4 event will be free if vendors provide a small giveaway for children.
Trustee Charlie Rogers raised logistics for upcoming events during the June 29 new business portion of the Pittsburg County Economic Development Authority meeting, describing catering, alcohol sales and seating preferences for boxing matches at the county expo and clarifying vendor rules for the July 4 celebration.
Rogers said he had spoken with “Angel” about whether alcohol sales will be allowed during boxing events. He told trustees that Justin, the expo contact, will handle catering and that the event promoter wants to move future matches into banquet rooms and offer ringside seating without tables. Rogers said the commissioners would prefer to keep tables for ringside seats and that event security should be distributed throughout the venue rather than concentrated in a single area. He added that the county would receive 40% of event revenue and would not be required to cover upfront costs for those events.
A staff member identified in the minutes as Crenshaw confirmed that outside vendors at the July 4 event would be allowed to set up for free but must have "something small to give to the children." The board did not take a formal vote on these operational event details; the remarks were recorded as part of new business and informational discussion.
No formal action or binding change to event policy was recorded in the minutes; trustees moved on to adjournment after completing the agenda.
