Civic Center manager says scheduling mix‑up strained staff; roof still unfinished
Summary
Civic Center Manager Mari Honstead told the board a wrongly scheduled event and late date change caused vendor conflicts and staffing strain; she reported the building roof remains incomplete and will be inspected once finished.
Mari Honstead, Grant County's Civic Center Manager, told commissioners an event was scheduled on the wrong weekend and later changed without notifying staff or community partners, creating confusion for vendors and hotels. The board acknowledged the economic benefit of the event to local businesses and allowed it to proceed despite finding the organizer's lack of communication unacceptable.
Honstead also reported the Civic Center roof project is not yet finished but said she is "very pleased with the crew working on the roof." Commissioners instructed the County Clerk to contact Stanfield Roofing for an inspection once the roof is complete. No formal penalties or cancellations were ordered; the board prioritized completing the roof inspection and maintaining vendor relationships.
