Commissioners adopt resolution to create county-run market nights and fee schedule
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 25-08-05C to establish county market nights in Fillmore and Delta, set vendor fees and policy parameters including separate commercial/noncommercial categories, seasonal rates and health-safety requirements.
The Millard County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution to form a county-run market-night program in Fillmore and Delta and to adopt an exhibit that establishes vendor categories, fees and operating policies.
The resolution (25-08-05C) authorizes market nights—planned May through September—with two locations on different evenings, vendor booths, food trucks and entertainment. The proposed fee schedule in the packet separates commercial and noncommercial vendors: commercial booths would pay $25 per night or $250 for a full season (16–18 nights); noncommercial vendors would be charged $0 per night; farmers, ranchers and growers were proposed at $15 per night or $150 per season; nonprofit/community booths $15; youth booths (under 17) $5; and school groups would be free. Staff said fees are intended to cover entertainment, licensing costs and administration while keeping participation affordable.
The packet also includes proposed vendor requirements based on county and state rules: health-department rules for prepared foods, home-bakery labeling and limitations, cottage-industry and food-safety guidance, and special-event insurance handled through the county. Staff said meat sales must comply with state requirements (USDA/State inspection where applicable). Movie night licensing costs (about $600 per showing) and performer stipends were discussed as uses of fee revenue.
Commissioners reviewed examples from other Utah cities and counties, and staff said policies were adapted from Nephi and Provo model policies. The board asked staff to retain an exhibit that separates commercial licenses from noncommercial and to finalize operational details. A motion to approve the resolution passed by voice vote.
Staff will finalize the exhibit language and vendor application procedures. The resolution authorizes county staff to manage booth assignments, handle special-event licensing and administer fees and waivers for schools and youth booths.
