Fair Board proposes combined MOU with rodeo club, seeks clearer language on ownership and duties
Summary
Board discussed two annual MOUs with the rodeo association (roping barn and groundskeeper/mower). Members proposed combining the documents into one MOU, clarifying that the rodeo association owns fixtures and equipment, and asked staff to draft revisions and run them past county legal before next meeting.
Board members reviewed two annual memoranda of understanding: one governing the roping barn and a separate agreement covering the groundskeeper/lawnmower arrangement. A Fair Board member recommended combining the two agreements into a single MOU to reduce confusion and simplify future updates.
The board discussed specific drafting suggestions: add a parenthetical defining the term “rodeo association” immediately after the association’s full name; explicitly note that the rodeo association owns fixtures, improvements and equipment located on the leased real property (to clarify ownership of items such as mowers or other personal property); remove mower references from the groundskeeper MOU where appropriate and preserve groundskeeper duties; and make punctuation and formatting consistent across numbered clauses.
Board members noted that the mower was removed from county responsibility in 2025 and that the rodeo club has since purchased replacement equipment; members suggested inserting a brief note or phrasing to preserve continuity, though they described that as optional. Jessica said she would incorporate suggested language changes and forward a revised draft to county staff and legal (Kevin) for review.
The board agreed to postpone formal approval and to present a revised combined MOU at the next meeting once county legal review is completed. The item was moved to the next agenda for approval pending the revised draft and legal review.
