Commission approves $29,680 for towable bleachers; committee split but majority recommended purchase
Summary
Daggett County approved a $29,680 purchase for towable, fold-and-tow bleachers with a 107-seat capacity. The rodeo grounds advisory board recommended the purchase by majority vote; commissioners discussed ADA needs and possible platform costs for arena use.
The commission approved a purchase request of $29,680 for fold-and-tow grandstands (107-seat capacity) after the rodeo grounds advisory board recommended the item by majority vote. The bleachers are towable and foldable so they can be moved to multiple sites including the rodeo arena, pickleball courts and other parks.
Staff noted that using the bleachers inside the rodeo arena would benefit from building a platform or walkway (estimated at about $5,000) to gain required elevation in front of the arena fence; that platform cost is not included in the purchase price. Commissioners also discussed ADA access: the towable bleachers do not include ADA accessories, and the commission acknowledged separate work and potential donations are being pursued to address ADA needs.
Funding context: the purchase was described as the closest match to the original 2023 CEOAB grant purpose for seating; commissioners discussed whether remaining grant funds, potential surplus from other projects (such as welcome signs or north bathroom work), or donated materials could be used to add platforms or ADA improvements.
Why this matters: the towable bleachers will increase seating capacity and expand reuse across county venues; commissioners balanced immediate seating needs against longer-term ADA and permanent seating priorities.
