were a little over half the lots we usually have for the sale. Prices were a bit lower than <br />usual. There were approximately 200 buyers, with 686 invitations sent. <br />5. General Event Rental Updates and Rates: COVID is still hampering rentals. We are <br />renting out the commercial kitchen and small business meetings currently. <br />Haul -in passes will begin in October. Language for the agreement has been changed to <br />reflect COVID best practices. Per Kady, it would be nice to be able to make use of Bloom <br />since it is such a large space. It would be very helpful if the guidelines were relaxed for <br />rides. If we are able to host up to 50 people again, we can hopefully get the clubs back in <br />before we completely lose them. <br />Rate update: per Kady, the only department that brought up concerns about the rate <br />structure was the Sheriff s office. Kady stated that she is willing to do trade work with <br />departments to help offset costs for them. No other departments have had any issues as of <br />yet. <br />The calendar and software programs are coming along. Everything is being thoroughly <br />tested prior to launch. <br />6. Special Projects: Swine Barn Removal: per Becky Sherley, the fairboard is in support (as <br />of last discussion) with moving forward. They will discuss at the next meeting. Per Kady, <br />the demo is scheduled for October. She has been working with Bob on finding a temporary <br />structure for fair next year. <br />Buckaroo Stands: KVFR is going to loan a fire hose to better simulate a drenching rain. <br />Will use it to test for roof leaks, prior to installing the spray foam. The spray foam job has <br />gone to bid. <br />The rodeo board is working on new logs for the Western Village gates, last Kady. The <br />other ones were not salvageable due to rot. <br />The pen project behind the Gold Buckle is complete. CWU Equestrian Team won't be <br />moving in until January due to COVID (loss of many team members). <br />Barn painting project is almost done. <br />Grounds Fencing: both the fair board and City of Ellensburg are in support of the project. <br />Still having difficulty with getting any local fencing companies to call back. Kady may look <br />for non -local contractors. <br />2020-08-12 MINUTES <br />
