Larry Ostler, county fair stock show member, said renting stalls can be a big problem. I do not feel renting the stalls is good, he said. . .

Jeff Banks, USU Juab County Agent, said the entire fairground facilitys uses need to be analyzed and one person or one place needs to coordinate the entire area.

Both payments are owed by the end of April," said Seely. Both Mona and Levan mayors were sent a set of the analysis worksheets and were asked to compare the worksheets to their town records. "If you have any records documenting payments made that are different than those shown in the attachments, would you please provide copies and review them with Mike Seely by the end of April? Otherwise, please remit the money owed by the end of April, said Joseph Bernini, commission chair in the letter sent the communities. "Depending on the last payment made, either Juab County will owe Nephi City small amount or Nephi City will owe Juab County a small amount, but, currently, it appears Nephi is square with the county on payments, said Seely. Commissioners pointed out that the two communities had contractual obligations to pay the money thy owed to the county by the end of April.
