The Juab County Commissioners have accepted the recommendation of the Building Authority to progress the expansion of the Juab County Jail by approving two bids for financing and architectural planning.

Commissioner Neil Cook made the motion to approve a bid from LJSH Planning Architectural Interiors for the design for the new jail addition to the public safety building in the amount of $16,566.

The motion was also made by Cook to approve the bid for financing this project by Far West Bank. The loan would be for $250,000 over a term of 20 years, at a rate of 4.25% interest adjusted every five years based on the prime, with no origination fees or collateral required.

The full payment amount would be $354,903.08 with interest during that time period being $104,903.08, principal being the original $250,000.
