Commission waives municipal waste fees for Wild West Fest; committee sought support
Summary
The commission approved a request from the Wild West Fest committee to waive municipal waste fees; commissioners noted volunteer cleanup and voted 3–0 to waive fees for the festival year specified in the motion (2027), while the committee's initial request referenced 2026.
Tom Lippert, a member of the Wild West Fest committee, asked the commission to waive municipal waste fees for the festival. Commissioner Michael Berges said volunteers handle much of the trash pickup and that waiving the fees "is a good thing," and he moved to waive the municipal waste fees. Commissioner Nathan Leiker seconded the motion and it passed by a 3–0 voice vote.
The transcript records Lippert's initial request referring to the 2026 Wild West Fest, while the motion that commissioners adopted specified waiving fees for 2027. The commission did not separately discuss fees for other years at this meeting.
