The Blasting Advisory Board voted to authorize staff to check flight and hotel prices for the February Tallahassee “date days” and to proceed with booking for a small delegation if costs fall within available travel funds.<\/p>\n
“I make a motion that we look into the pricing,” Speaker 3 said during the meeting, asking staff to check flights and hotels and to book the earliest feasible flights that allow the delegates to be present on Feb. 10\u201311. Speaker 1 seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote.<\/p>\n
Members discussed budget constraints ahead of the motion. Speaker 5 reported the board’s fiscal-year budget is $4,500 total with $3,000 allocated for travel and $1,500 for marketing. Board members referenced prior trip totals (examples discussed during the meeting included $4,070 and $5,600 figures for previous years) and urged early booking to control costs.<\/p>\n
The motion was specific to checking pricing and did not commit the board to a final passenger list: Speakers agreed that only two members would likely travel unless estimates showed it was feasible for more. The board set a near-term internal schedule to get pricing before the regular January meeting so any booking decision could be made in time for the Feb. 10 date days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Blasting Advisory Board voted to authorize staff to check flight and hotel prices for the February Tallahassee…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-94339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
