Staff member Scott McBeth noted that, in the case of Magna Community Park, all requests for waivers had been approved. He wondered if it was fair to continue to put county patrons to the trouble of obtaining permits when they are always approved anyway. Janet Geyser, president of the United Assn.

He also felt that allowing beer to sold at Cottonwood was setting a bad example for youth. Swensen stated that beer sales were permitted during tournaments because of the revenue it generates, to help in drawing larger regional and national tournaments to Salt Lake County and because people would bring in their own if they couldnt buy it there. Beer thats brought in usually comes in the form of bottles or cans, creating more of a safety and litter problem than paper cups. We look at it as a trial policy that hasnt worked, Clayton added.
