FAIRGROUND BUILDINGS •The Juab County
Commission has set a standard set of rates for Juab
County Facilities. The indoor roping building at the
Juab County Fairgrounds costs users $150 per day for
one day and $125 each day after. County residents will
pay less in fees than groups from out of the county,
commissioners stated.

Changes in the fees charged for Juab County facilities
rentals have been revised and have also been standardized
for all users.
Juab County Commissioners adopted the schedule after
working on a revision for several months.
It was determined to charge damage, key, and cleaning
deposits on some facilities, and to have a resident and
non-resident use fee schedule. In addition, large groups
will be charged at a different rate.
"We have to take into consideration the use of
utilities at the fairgrounds for large group use," said Wm.
Boyd Howarth, commission chair.
The Nephi City sewer system does not run to the
fairgrounds. That county property has a septic system and
has to be cared for as any septic drainage system must be.
Therefore, large-group use means that the system needs care
sooner.
Nevertheless, large groups may rent the cultural hall,
the multipurpose building, the recreation building, the big
arena, the small arena, and reserve the indoor roping barn
for $150 for the first day and $125 per day for each day
thereafter.
If the multi-purpose kitchen is needed it can be
reserved for a large group for an additional $50 per day,
and the sound system in that building can be reserved for an
additional $25 per day.
Large groups can also use the sound system in the
recreation building, the big arena, and the indoor roping
barn for an additional $25 per day.
"We are charging residents of the county less money to
rent facilities than we are charging non-residents because
our county residents pay taxes to our county," said
Howarth.
For that reason, non residents will pay $20 per hour
or $150 a day to rent the cultural hall, the multipurpose
building, or the recreation building. Residents will pay $15
per hour or $100 per day for those same facilities.
The multi-purpose building kitchen can be rented for
an additional $35 per day for residents and $50 per day for
non-residents.
The sound system in that building and also in the
recreation building, big arena and roping barn can be used
for $25 per day for both residents and non-residents.
Non-residents will pay $15 per day for stalls and
residents will pay $10 per day. Corrals will be rented to
non-residents for 75-cents per head per day and to residents
for 50-cents per head per day.
Those wishing to use the big arena, for other than
large group activities, may reserve the facility for $2 per
hour or $48 per day if they are residents, or $5 per hour or
$150 per day if they are non-residents.
A yearly permit can be obtained from the county
clerk's office for $50 per person or $100 per family for
residents of Juab County. Non-residents may also obtain the
permit for $100 per person or $150 per family.
Those reserving the indoor roping barn will pay $15
per hour whether they are residents or non-residents.
A cleaning deposit, which must be paid in advance, of
$75 is charged those using the cultural hall, multi-purpose
building, and the recreation building. A $50 fee is charged
for the indoor roping barn, and for the stalls a $25
cleaning fee is charged. Those using the corrals will pay a
$100 cleaning deposit.
Those who need keys to facilities they have rented
must pay $25 deposit, in advance, for the key to the
cultural hall, multi-purpose building, recreation building
and the indoor roping barn. The deposit will be returned
when the key is returned.
Commissioners determined that they needed to collect
sufficient money from those renting facilities to repair
damages if they should occur.
A damage deposit for buildings must be paid in advance
of the activity planned.
For the cultural hall, multi-purpose building,
multi-purpose sound system, the recreation building, the
recreation building sound system, the big arena sound
system, the indoor roping barn sound system, stalls and
corrals, a damage deposit fee of up to $5,000 can be charged
to be paid in advance.
The big arena, small arena and the indoor roping barn
will require $100 damage deposit.
Commissioner Neil Cook said he had looked into the
fees charged in other counties in the state and found the
prices quoted to be quite fair.
The new schedule comes into effect immediately.
