Fair And Arena Upgrades

RANDOLPH, Utah. May 4, 2016. Barrel Club Arena Jean Meyers, Rich Barrel Club, asked commissioners to help the arena with garbage disposal.  Garbage bins around the arena have not been emptied. The commissioners said that they would purchase some of the large black cans that can be wheeled out to be emptied by the sanitation department trucks.  They also noted that each user of the arena should be responsible for their own trash.  The Barrel club meets on Monday and the trash is collected on Tuesday.  Meyers also commended David D. Jones who is working the arena grounds as a volunteer.

Bret Argyle, Fair Board, suggested that the lighting system be upgraded at the arena rather than repairing the old system.  The lighting is obsolete and very expensive to repair and find parts and lights.  The power company would donate the four light poles needed and set them up.  The lighting system would cost about $55-59,000.   The new lights are more energy  efficient.
In addition, the Fair Board wants to build a new concession stand 12’x 50’ which will cost $10,000.  He suggested they add  bathrooms at a cost of about $3500 more.  The concrete pad is about about  $3,000. The Town of Randoph would add in some funding for the concession stand, and maintain it after it is constructed.


Commissioner Norm Weston asked Argyle to get three bids. Tom Weston agreed that this should be pursued.
