Council approves $1,300 city donation to support FCCLA students' trip to nationals
Summary
Council agreed to a $1,300 city contribution to support six FCCLA students traveling to the national competition in Washington, D.C.; the county previously provided $500 per student and the students and advisors will also fundraise and provide volunteer labor in return for sponsorship recognition.
Students and an advisor asked the Soda Springs City Council for sponsorship to help six students and three adults attend the FCCLA national competition in Washington, D.C.
The council heard that the estimated cost is about $2,000 per student (roughly $12,000 total for six students). Council members noted the county commissioners had offered $500 per student. A council member proposed that the city contribute $1,300 (described in the discussion as a combination of in-kind work and cash support matching county assistance) and a second councilmember moved the motion; the council voted to approve the contribution.
The presenter said the team would provide visible recognition for sponsors and would help with community events such as the Fourth of July activities and washing fire trucks. Council members asked the students to follow up with the city clerk to coordinate volunteer support and in-kind recognition if the contribution is approved.
