Eddings: No, but they are working on that. <br />Porterfield: need to meet with Zempel to move forward with a contract for the livestock <br />sale, which needs to happen quickly. <br />Vice -Chair Osiadacz: What could happen tonight? What should be done going forward? <br />Porterfield: there will be a sale no matter what. If Friends of the Fair doesn't want to <br />continue with the Sale, the auction services have gone out to bid already and the Fair will <br />contract with an outside auction company. The bid that's been received currently offers <br />taking a 3% sale commission from the sale proceeds and will be no additional charge to the <br />Fair. The only real difference would be for the buyers that won't receive any tax benefit <br />(since it will not be run through a non-profit). <br />Commissioner Wirght: What about the liability for the beer garden, is that also an issue? <br />Porterfield: most Fair Board members really do want to make it work with Friends of the <br />Fair continuing to hold the Sale. <br />6. Grandstands Project Update <br />Porterfield: ALCS met with Patti and there will be a budget meeting next week. Looking <br />at removing the KK-MM section scope, but will keep the bathrooms and cat -walk as first <br />priority. Will be doing a physical walk through with the rodeo board representatives, Chair <br />Wachsmith will also attend. <br />7. Fair Parking Update <br />Porterfield: Fair Board voted to support premium parking at the North Lot and Shady <br />Acres. Premium parking will be $20, all other lots will remain at $10. This will come <br />forward in a Public Hearing soon. <br />8. Fair Bedding Fees Update <br />Porterfield: Fair Board agreed that it will be changing the fee name to a "per -head entry" <br />fee, as the current wording isn't congruent of true operational expense coverage and could be <br />viewed as a gifting of public funds when comparing the true cost versus the fee cost. The fee <br />has always traditionally been designated as the animal's one-time entry fee and the history is <br />unknown to why it was named a bedding fee to begin with. Due to other fee changes from <br />last year along with this new fee name, the BOCC and Kady agree it is best to hold off on <br />any suggested fee increases from the Fair Board until 2025. Kady will report back to the Fair <br />Board on that direction. <br />2024-05-20 MINUTES 2 <br />
