Jamie Garrett, Juab County Special Events Coordinator, and Alan Hall, Juab County Fair Board president, presented the annual $10,000 check to Juab County Commission Chairman, Clinton Painter, to pay for their share of the cost of the bleachers at the rodeo fairgrounds.
"We're here to pay for our part of the payment we pay every year in June," Garrett said.
The fairground replacement bleachers were paid for by a Community Impact Board (CIB) loan.
"It was agreed at the time," said Painter, "that the Ute Stampede Committee, the county fair board and the county would each pay one-third of the loan."
The loan was for zero percent interest and the contract is to be repaid in 30 years. Those bleachers have been in place now for approximately seven years, said Byron Woodland, commissioner.
Some of the CIB money also came in the form of a grant which does not need to be repaid.
The cost of the new bleachers which were constructed on the west side of the grand arena amounted to approximately $1 million.
The three-way agreement calls for each entity to pay $10,000 each year. |
