Landcare subcommittee authorized to spend up to $500 for festival materials
Summary
The Montreat Landcare committee approved a motion allowing the Landcare Festival subcommittee to spend up to $500 for yard signs, a banner and hospitality for vendors. The vote was taken by voice and the chair reported unanimous support; printing of a reissued local 'Bear' book remains under discussion.
The Montreat Landcare committee voted to allow its Landcare Festival subcommittee to spend up to $500 on materials and hospitality for the upcoming festival. S4 moved the motion that the subcommittee may spend up to $500; S6 seconded, and the chair (S2) took a voice vote and stated the ayes carried by consensus.
The request covered ten yard signs at roughly $23 each, an estimated banner costing $160–$190 depending on size, and modest funds for coffee, water and cookies for vendors’ hospitality. S4 said the expectation is that the subcommittee’s expenditures will be paid back from festival proceeds. S4 also noted the request includes the Arbor Day celebration.
During discussion some members asked about whether book-printing costs should be included; S2 said the group is pursuing donated or free printing for a local bear book reprint and no final printing budget was available at that time. The treasurer (S6) said bookkeeping and any outstanding line-item questions will be checked with staff (Rachel) before final reconciliation.
The committee adjourned after the vote. There was no roll-call recorded in the transcript; the chair reported a voice vote of 'ayes' and noted no objections.
