Council declines Keno funding for Senior Pro Rodeo bull riding event
Summary
The council voted to deny Keno fund support for the Senior Pro Rodeo-sponsored bull riding event, citing a prior policy and past allocation of $50,000 to rodeo grandstand removal; the motion passed unanimously.
Council Member Brian Frahm led discussion about the council’s policy limiting Keno fund distribution to individual groups and referenced last year’s use of $50,000 in Keno funds to take down grandstands at the rodeo grounds.
Frahm moved to disapprove Keno funds for the Senior Pro Rodeo-sponsored bull riding event; Council President Dean seconded and the motion carried with Frahm, Dean and Gaston voting aye and no nays recorded. Council members emphasized consistency with the publicly stated policy rather than an evaluation of the specific rodeo event’s merits.
No alternative funding or appeals process was recorded in the minutes beyond keeping the council’s policy in force.
