New commissioner introduces himself, asks about budgeting and grants
Summary
Mark Letham, the board’s new county commissioner liaison, said he wants to see the fair reach a surplus and asked questions about budgeting and grant processes; he noted county approval of the Community Forest program.
Mark Letham, introduced as the newly appointed county commissioner liaison to the Wahkiakum County Fair Board, spoke at the Jan. 14 meeting and said he would like to see the fair "get into the black" financially. He acknowledged unfamiliarity with the fair’s grant processes and participated in a back-and-forth discussion about budgeting and how grants work.
Letham also reported that the county commissioners approved the Community Forest program and said he was excited about that decision. Board members discussed existing grant applications for the fair (doors for the youth building and an arena groomer tool) during his report; no formal action on those grants was recorded in the meeting minutes.
