Lori also wanted to thank the City for donating the McKnight Hall for this fundraiser. Any questions please reach out to her. Board member Sunderland wanted to revisit the pricing for the singles dances. The McKnight Hall seems to be rented out more frequently. He feels that the rentals are revenue for the City. He feels that maybe they should pay the full price for the usage of the hall. The Board discussed this and decided to stay the same rate through the end of the year. It will be readdressed in the December 2024 Board Meeting. A motion was made by Lagerstrom, seconded by Cutler to make a flat fee of $10.00 for doors and windows. Previously it was per door and per window. It now will be $10.00 for the permit. A malt beverage & farm wine license was up for renewal but tabled until the May 2024 meeting. Finance officer report was given by Kayla. There is a Finance Officer training in June 2024 in Spearfish. She asked the Board for travel to attend this training.
