Clerk/Treasurer Misty Raines presented a recorded request from TSO The Ignite Competition Team seeking sponsorships to offset dance competition fees for the 2026–27 season; sponsors would be recognized on the team’s competition apparel. Town Manager Bryce Simmons noted the Town has previously supported similar requests (a $200 contribution to a baseball team), but Councilor Erica Wade and Town Attorney Christopher Corbett expressed concern about setting precedent for use of Town funds. Council took no action on the sponsorship request.
Separately, Councilor Jeffery Houchins moved to purchase two advertisements in the Patrick County Chamber magazine at a total cost of approximately $900; Councilor Erica Wade seconded. The motion was approved, with Councilor Rebecca Adcock recorded as abstaining. Council also agreed to prepare a letter of appreciation recognizing outgoing staff member Brian Hylton.
No further action was taken on the sponsorship request; the advertisement purchase was approved and will be processed according to Town purchasing procedures.
