Juab County contributed $50,000 to Nephi City for use in the recreation department.

That is $25,000 more than was donated last year.

"We agreed to contribute the money," said Neil cook, commission chairman. "They sent us an invoice and we did budget the money."

Nephi City is running the recreation program and participants from throughout the east side of the county do participate in the recreation programs.

"We have seen the budget and we do know where the money is spent," said Cook.

The commissioners reviewed the different programs the money helped support. Those programs included taking care of the ballparks and helping fund teams for a variety of recreation activities.

"The kids now wear shirts that say Juab Recreation on them," said Cook.

After the recreation district is placed on the November ballot, he said, the commission would know what residents wanted. That would determine what would happen with recreation funding in the future.
