Commissioners cancel July 4 meeting, approve claims and consent agenda; Pepsi sponsorship read into record for Yellowstone International Air Show

The Yellowstone County Commissioners voted on several routine items at their June 19 meeting, cancelling the Board of County Commissioners meeting scheduled for July 4 and approving claims and the consent agenda.

The board considered Resolution 23-62 to cancel the July 4 meeting; a commissioner moved to approve the resolution, another seconded, and the board recorded verbal 'ayes' in favor and cancelled the July meeting. Later the board approved claims numbered 23-193 through 23-196 after a motion and second, and accepted the consent agenda and placed file items on file following a motion by Commissioner Morris.

The presiding officer also read a sponsorship letter from Pepsi Cola Billings and the Dimich family announcing that two hot-air balloons will appear as part of the Yellowstone International Air Show in Billings, including a football-shaped Pepsi balloon and a 7 Up balloon. The letter said at least one balloon display will be tethered and described opportunities for morning flights and evening balloon-glow events at the Montana Fair; the air show is scheduled at Logan Field in Billings Aug. 11–13.

The meeting concluded after the board asked for public comment and heard none.
