Fair Board seeks $213,530 roof replacement and grant path for campground upgrades
Summary
The Fair Board manager presented a $213,530 TPO roof bid and a $10,000 dump station request; she said the fairgrounds will first pursue grants to fund larger campground upgrades before asking the county to provide capital.
At the Fair Board budget workshop the manager presented quotes for a TPO membrane roof replacement on the main fairgrounds building and identified a $213,530 bid plus a proposed $10,000 dump station as near-term capital asks. She said the net county ask — after projected campground net income — would be roughly $167,186.
The manager said she preferred to seek grant funding for larger campground improvements before asking the county to fund them and described a phased approach to make spaces more ADA-friendly and upgrade infrastructure. "We would like to seek a grant to do this," the manager said, adding her staff includes grant-writing experience and that some improvements could be multi-step projects to reduce immediate county cost exposure.
Commissioners asked staff to seek competitive roofing bids to close any budget gap before committing county dollars; staff noted contractor availability varies seasonally and promised to look for alternatives that could bridge the shortfall.
