The Great Northern Fair board decided not to vote on agenda items at their monthly meeting Tuesday due to a low number of board members able to attend.
The attending members discussed and tabled the agenda items till next month’s meeting.
The board members excused due to not being available to attend the meeting were fair board Chair Tyler Smith and board members Shawn Bickford and Ron Konesky.
Board members Bobbie Dolphay, Ray Kallenberger and Jack Solomon and board Vice Chair Chelby Gooch were at the meeting.
Fairgrounds Manager Frank English was out of town, but he left a report on the projects he has been working on at the fairgrounds. The report listed rebuilding of the water reel irrigation system, infield cleanup and dirt work, repairing picnic tables that were damaged during fair week in July, cleaning up the Community Center and more.
In other business, the project to pour a sidewalk at the new Hill County 4-H Chuckwagon is still in process with Konesky and 4-H getting plans figured out, Gooch said.
A report on an issue with a water meter Mark Peterson has said has led to double billing which the City of Havre should make amends for was on the agenda, but Gooch said, “the water meter will stay on the agenda till Mark Peterson decides to come back to another meeting.”
The agenda included discussing farm equipment the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum stores on the fairgrounds.
Gooch said Great Northern Fair Board and the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum Board will meet either tomorrow or Thursday, Aug. 29, about the use and care of the museum’s items on the fairgrounds.
The agenda also included discussion of upgrades of heating and cooling systems in the fairgrounds Community Center and its office.
“The heating and cooling upgrades can come off (the agenda) because they are officially done in both buildings,” Gooch said.
The next Great Northern Fair Board meeting will be at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 17, at the fair office on the Great Northern Fairgrounds.
