Council approves $1,500 support for local 4‑H livestock program
Summary
Beaver City Council voted to award $1,500 to the local 4‑H livestock club after hearing that the program has a record 85 youth and 142 animals this year. Members said the funds help cover project expenses and college support for participating students.
Beaver City Council voted to grant $1,500 to the local 4‑H livestock club after a presentation from club representatives asking for help with program costs. Linda Smith said the club has grown this year and that support from the city helps youth cover the expenses of showing animals.
"This year, we have 85 kids and a 142 animals," Linda Smith said, describing the club's record participation and the role show earnings play in helping members pay for college. Council members asked clarifying questions about project types and local business support before moving to a vote.
The motion to approve the $1,500 payment was made and seconded by council members and approved by voice vote. Mayor (S6) congratulated the group and invited them to the upcoming fair where the club will participate.
Council members framed the grant as a modest, direct way to support youth agriculture and local small‑business activity tied to fairs and community events. The approved amount will be paid after the club provides the required invoice or documentation to the city finance office.
