Sierra Muir, representing Soda Springs High School, asked the council for sponsorship to attend the World Schools Debate competition in Washington, D.C., June 12–23.
Muir described competing in five guaranteed rounds and the potential for elimination rounds; she said the trip would be costly and that she planned to provide sponsor recognition through stickers and other visible acknowledgments. Council members asked about the budget and noted the county contribution of $500 had been offered to other students. A motion to donate $500 to Muir was made, seconded, and approved by the council.
Council members encouraged Muir to coordinate logistics with the city clerk and suggested she could help with city events in return for sponsorship.
