Park County Deputy Clerk, Hans Odde
Re: Public Hearing: Park County Liquor License Fee Changes
Chairman Tilden opened a public hearing to consider adjustments to the Park County liquor license fees. Mr. Odde presented a proposed resolution to increase fees on eight of the twelve particular classes of licenses and explained the process used to arrive at the proposed increases. Chairman Tilden then invited public comment. Joel Baum, Rand Creek Ranch; Matt Dzialak & Janine Phelps, Double Diamond X Guest Ranch and Mike Christianson, East Yellowstone Valley Chamber of Commerce all testified that their businesses are seasonal and therefore not able to absorb an increase in their full retail liquor license and that they have the license merely to provide a convenience to their guests in the summertime. Fred Siebert, Wapiti Red Barn mentioned that incremental increases over time may be more acceptable. There being no further public comment Commissioner Fulkerson made a motion to close the public hearing. Commissioner Livingston seconded and the motion carried.
The Commissioners discussed the proposed resolution and offered suggestions to lower the retail and restaurant license amounts to $800. Commissioner Fulkerson made a motion to approve Resolution 2020-09 as presented with the suggested changes. Commissioner Livingston seconded and on further discussion offered a friendly amendment to the motion to reduce the proposed malt beverage permit fee to $400. Commissioner Fulkerson accepted the amendment, the second concurred and the motion carried.
Park County Public Health Nursing Manger, Bill Crampton
RE: Discussion: Budget Line Item for Additional Grant Funding
Mr. Crampton briefly discussed the emergency operations plan as it pertains to the Coronavirus and that there will likely be grant funding distributed to Park County to deal with the virus. There will be a separate grant revenue and expenditure line item created administratively in the Clerk’s Office for the funding.
Heart Mountain Irrigation District (HMID) Manager, Tyler Weckler
