Summary

The board voted to place a recently purchased parcel under park-board management so the park board can determine parking and usage terms for fair-related activities; motion passed unanimously.

Commissioners discussed the newly purchased Thomas property and agreed it should be managed by the county park board, which will set terms for fair and 4-H parking uses and handle any resulting repairs.

A commissioner moved to place the parcel under park-board control; the motion was seconded and carried with recorded aye votes. The board emphasized that the park board should coordinate with 4-H and monitor conditions (for example, parking layout and repairs after events).

The move is intended to simplify event planning and delegate day-to-day oversight of the parcel to the body responsible for parks and fairgrounds.
