MDARD Electrical Grant and Grandstand Improvements

Upgrading the grandstand's electrical and sound system will run roughly $16,000 for installation and ten speakers — more than expected. The board is asking foundations for sponsorship money to cover it.

T-Barn electrical capacity shortage

The county spent about $30,000 upgrading one end of the T-Barn, but there's no capacity left for more upgrades, and exhibitors don't have enough power where they prepare steers for the auction. The board wants Parks & Rec to explain the work and plans to meet with Market Livestock about funding future needs.
