During a recent government meeting, the Custer County Board of Commissioners addressed several key financial matters and honored a local figure for his contributions to the community.
The meeting commenced with a motion to approve accounts payable from the tourism fund, totaling $5,553.30. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously without any discussion from the board or public attendees.
Following this, the board reviewed a larger accounts payable report amounting to $308,064.25. After a brief discussion regarding adjustments made to the report, the motion to approve this sum was also seconded and carried with no objections.
In a significant moment of the meeting, the commissioners ratified a proclamation honoring Robert \"Bob\" Jolley for his extensive service to Custer County and the Silver West Airport. The proclamation declared September 5, 2024, as \"Robert Bob Jolley Day\" and named the main building at the Silver West Airport as the \"Robert Jolley Maintenance Facility.\" The recognition highlighted Jolley's dedication as a retired chief master sergeant and his over 12 years of volunteer work to enhance the airport and support the community.
The meeting concluded with the board expressing their appreciation for Jolley's contributions, ensuring that the honor would remain a surprise until the official proclamation day.
