\"roughriderrodeo\"Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0\u00a0 Jamestown Tourism\u2019s \u00a0Grant\/ Executive Board met Thursday at the CSi Technology Center at Historic Franklin School.<\/p>\n

The Rough Rider Rodeo Association, and Jamestown Civic Center requested $10,000\u00a0 toward funding the Rough Rider Finals, in Jamestown scheduled for October 28-30 at the Jamestown Civic Center.<\/p>\n

At the meeting Deb Carlson said the rodeo\u2019s economic impact to the Jamestown Community is $948,000.<\/p>\n

Participants are from five states and three Canadian provinces.<\/p>\n

In 2015 the rodeo performances drew an attendance of 2,000.<\/p>\n

The board voted unanimously with voting members Matt Woods, Beth Dewald, and Mitzi Hager, to fund the rodeo at $7,500, indicating the rodeo needs bigger support.\u00a0 That\u2019s the same amount approved in 2012.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown City Council has approved terminating the agreement between the Civic Center and the Rodeo Association, in year five of the seven year agreement, following this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

Civic Center Manager Pam Fosse said the Civic Center and city are taking a loss in hosting the event the past few years, with last year\u2019s shortfall at $17,000.<\/p>\n

The Board voted unanimously to approve the 2017 budget request of $434,550, and return to a percentage model, a budget cut of $70,000.<\/p>\n

Board Member Beth Dewald wanted to make it clear that the budget dollars are generated from the Restaurant and Lodging Taxes, and does NOT stem from city property taxes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In other business, the Board noted that October 13, 2016 at 4-p.m., will be the ribbon cutting to officially launch the Talking Trail program to be held at Jack Brown Stadium.<\/p>\n

The first few signs have been installed at some of the sites, with accompanying recordings.<\/p>\n

Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund said\u00a0 the Tourism web site indicated that\u00a0 43 inquiries have been made to listen to the recordings \u00a0in the first five days of availability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He added that the World\u2019s Largest Buffalo Monument, continues to receive preparations for repainting.<\/p>\n

He said the board will be asked to give input on the shades of paint to be used, noting that a clear coat will be applied to extend\u00a0 the paint life by five years.<\/p>\n

In other business, the Board discussed and amended the Capital Construction process including applications.<\/p>\n

Grant guidelines have also been established.<\/p>\n

The first round of application must be received by the Tourism Office no later that October 1st this year.\u00a0 The next round application deadline in March 1, 2017.<\/p>\n

Thereafter the application deadlines will be October 1 and March 1.<\/p>\n
