Commissioners review lottery (conservation trust) requests; $43,992 balance and fairgrounds requests noted
Summary
Commissioners reviewed lottery (conservation trust) funds with $43,992 available and discussed requests including $6,000 to enclose and install livestock scales at the fairgrounds, a PA system for rodeo, and work on the shooting range; board asked staff to prepare recommendations before the application deadline.
The county's lottery (conservation trust) balance was reported at $43,992. Staff and fair board members presented requests including a $6,000 ask to enclose and install livestock scales at the fairgrounds and a possible PA system for rodeo events. The board discussed eligibility and whether county funds should cover enclosure costs versus formal grant requests from the fair board.
Meeting participants also discussed a shooting-range project that staff said qualified for lottery funds. The board asked staff to prepare recommendations and finalize applications ahead of the February deadline referenced at the meeting (participants said the 12th), and noted the lottery board will make recommendations that the commissioners will then approve. "So currently, we have $43,992 in that 43,992," one staff member said. Commissioners asked for the paperwork to be completed and for requests to be prioritized so decisions can be made at the next meeting.
