6. RV Park Project Progress <br />Porterfield and Patti Stacey will meet over the next week to discuss the project further. <br />Some parking spaces had to be moved/adjusted from the last rendering. The hope and <br />plan is to have a total of 50 RV spaces, with back -in and pull -through options. Porterfield <br />will need to speak with Rodeo Board about space for the Yakama Nation during rodeo <br />after the Yakama Village expanding since the 1001h year anniversary. <br />7. Cold Weather Shelter Discussion <br />Porterfield met with Chair Wachsmith last week about the cold weather shelter progress. <br />Porterfield is currently working on the contract. Porterfield will work with legal to <br />complete contract process. The contract will be for approximately $70,000 (giving them <br />an extended stay discount). There are a few days that the shelter will need to vacate due <br />to events with prior reservations (February and March). Church groups will host during <br />that time. Rodeo plans to work on the VIP Room expansion project as much as possible <br />while the weather holds. They will not interfere with the shelter operation as most of the <br />work will initially be done from the outside. <br />8. Rodeo Grandstands Project Progress <br />New renderings were received just before fair. They have been working to find the most <br />cost-effective designs. The concession stands have been removed (they can easily be <br />done later). There will be much improved ADA access on the concourse and for <br />restrooms. <br />Commissioner Wright: will the livestock pens be the same? Porterfield: yes, they just <br />aren't shown on the rendering. Porterfield, Patti Stacey (Project Manager), Carl Jensvold <br />(Rodeo) and Brock Alderman (Rodeo) will meet and make sure everyone is on the same <br />page before finalizing. <br />Vice -Chair Osiadcz: how long will construction take? Porterfield: if started right after <br />fair, the project would be completed by March/April so we could still operate our <br />summer season in the Rodeo Arena <br />9. Admissions and Lodging Tax Discussion <br />Porterfield and Cziske have been working together and discussed uses of <br />admissions/lodging tax as revenue sources for the Event Center. Is there a way for <br />admission tax to be used by the Event Center? Chair Wachsmith stated in 2015, there was <br />an ordinance that stated the first $100,000 of the tax went to the Public Health <br />department. The ordinance should be looked at for possible amendments to funding <br />designations. <br />Porterfield: will there be an application available for lodging tax funds for this year? <br />Application hasn't been posted on the website yet. <br />Vice -Chair Osiadcz asked Porterfield to send her and Sue Patterson (Auditor's Office) an <br />email about it; need to make sure the funding request fits the guidelines. <br />2024-09-23 MINUTES <br />
