Bannock County approves three-year agreement with Idaho junior high rodeo organizers
Summary
The Bannock County commissioners approved a three-year contract with organizers of the Idaho Junior High state finals, updating terms on RV collection and insurance contact points.
Bannock County commissioners on March 27 approved a three-year contract with the organizers of the Idaho Junior High state rodeo finals, the county’s event staff said.
The contract, presented by Scott Crother, event director and business manager, updates language to match the county’s existing contract with the Idaho high school state finals and clarifies which party collects RV fees. Crother said the junior-high finals are usually held the week before the high-school event and that the county is “proud to have you up here.”
Why it matters: The agreement keeps a recurring statewide youth sporting event in Bannock County and standardizes terms across the county’s rodeo events, including insurance and RV-collection procedures. County staff and the event organizers emphasized the venue’s capacity to host the event’s attendance.
County risk-management staff requested a contact for the organizer’s insurance carrier after the commission discussed use of a rented tractor during events. Matthew Phillips, risk management director, asked for a contact to confirm whether rented equipment would be listed on the organizer’s policy or whether the county should be added as an additional insured; the organizer was directed to provide insurance contact Kristen Ward.
The commission voted to sign the three-year agreement by voice vote. The motion was made and approved during the meeting; the record shows the vote carried after Commissioners voted “aye.”
The contract also includes an RV-collection provision adjusted from an earlier version: staff said the contract now mirrors the high-school agreement, with the parties’ roles in collecting RV fees clarified in the new language. Exact division of which RV fees each party will collect was described in the meeting as matching the high-school contract but was not itemized on the record.
Commissioners and event staff praised the organizers for bringing the state finals to Bannock County and noted the event’s value to youth participants and to the county’s event calendar.
