Council approves $170,000 tourism transfer and appoints Victoria Perry to tourism board
Summary
The Jefferson County Council approved reallocating $170,000 from a tourism account to operations and appointed Victoria Perry as the council’s representative to the Jefferson County Board of Tourism; council also approved the associated resolution and interlocal language on the same night.
The Jefferson County Council voted to transfer $170,000 from the Jefferson County Board of Tourism account into the board’s operations account and to appoint Victoria Perry as the council’s appointee to the county Board of Tourism.
A representative for the tourism board told the council they "need to reallocate monies from 1 of our accounts, Jefferson County Board of Tourism, to our operations account" and said the board’s previous council appointee, Josh Abbott, was no longer serving. Council members discussed the matter and moved to approve the transfer and the appointment at the same meeting. Council member Rayna (motion) and a second were recorded; the chair called the vote and members responded, "Aye." The council also referenced a resolution number in the meeting materials—presented in the meeting as "resolution 20 26 16"—to authorize the transfer.
Council member discussion included a suggested immediate appointment. One council member said a former board member, Victoria Perry (maiden name Huff), was willing to return and would represent the tourism board; the council voted to appoint Perry. The motion to appoint and the transfer both passed during the meeting.
The county clerk was instructed to finalize the paperwork for the transfer under the resolution language presented and to note the new tourism-board appointee for future meeting agendas.
