County, fair board move forward
BY KARLA POMEROY
The Big Horn County Fair building
and ground maintenance will be turned
over to the county and the county will pro-
ceed with changing how it budgets for the
fair after further discussion Tuesday at the
regular commissioner meeting.
The commissioners and the Big Horn
County Fair Board have met several times
this month to discuss options for mainte-
nance and budgeting and agreed on three
items last week during a work session.
Fair Board member Willie Bridges pre-
sented a letter outlining the three main
items agreed to during last week's work
session. The first is a two-year budget to
be set for the fair. In the letter, Chairman
Marry Moody wrote, "Because of the way
the fiscal year falls and the timing of the
county fair, this method would be benefi-
cial in helping the fair board prepare their
budget and would help eliminate some of
the budgeting problems we have been ex-
periencing for years."
Commissioner Keith Grant said he
would like to have the fair budget incorpo-
rated into the general fund budget as a de-
partment and removed from the having to
figure out a specific mill for the fair budget.
Chairman Jerry Ewen said he spoke
with the county's accountant Jim Reilly
and he is willing to work with the coun-
ty and fair board to set up the fair budget
within the county's general fund.
He said to handle the need for the
fair to write checks quickly for premium
checks, pig wrestling calcutta checks, en-
tertainment checks and others during fair
week a line item could be prefunded with
a fair board checkbook available for those
expenses. He said proper checks and bal-
ances would be built in for use of the check-
book.
The commissioners directed Clerk Dori
Noyes to set up a meeting with herself,
Treasurer Becky Lindsey, fair board mere-
bers, commissioners and Reilly to work on
the budget.
Ewen said the county would not take
over payroll until the first of the year to
avoid any W-2 conflicts.
The second item is to request that the
county take over the building and ground
maintenance at the fairgrounds. Bridges
said County Maintenance Supervisor Fred
Werner would hire employees to handle the
maintenance and oversee these employees.
The fair manager, once hired, would work
with Werner in setting maintenance prior-
ities and projects.
He said the fair has budgeted about
$20,000 annually for maintenance, with
this year about $13,000 spent on one phase
of the electrical upgrade, which will be re-
quired to continue the next few years.
Grant asked Werner if he was pre-
pared for the additional work during fair
week. "There's a big load during the fair,"
Grant said. Bridges added that someone
has to be available 24 hours a day during
fair week to handle stopped-up toilets and
other middle-of-the-night issues.
Werner said his initial idea is to hire a
full-time employee that would be assigned
to the fairgrounds March through Octo-
ber. "I'm looking for ways to get the most
maintenance for a reasonable price," Wer-
ner said.
Bridges noted that Park County is also
looking to move the building and grounds
maintenance from the fair budget to the
county budget.
Jerry Ewen said they have been con-
tacted by commissioners from another
county about fair budgeting as that county
is also having funding issues with its fair.
"We're not alone," Ewen said.
The third item was to request addition-
al $30,800 "due to the budget misunder-
standing that we encountered this year,"
Moody wrote. The commissioners approved
a motion to transfer the funds from cash
reserve to the fair board.
Bridges said with the motion the board
will proceed with hiring a new fair man-
ager, noting interviews have already taken
place.
Clerk Noyes addressed the commis-
sioners concerning comments made two
weeks ago regarding the budget misunder-
standing. Noyes said she changed figures
to the fair board's budget only after phone
calls to Bridges and having Bridges sign a
new budget request. The need for a change,
she said, was from a mathematical error
regarding the $20,000 cash reserve listed
on the fair board's budget form.
She said she and her staff are always
willing to work with the fair board and
other boards during the budget process, in-
cluding filling out the budget form that has
been used the past eight years.
