The Young County Commissioners Court approved three items related to the Young County Arena, accepted the arena's fiscal-year financial report and discussed planned capital improvements.
City manager Eric Garrity told the court that the county will accept periodic donations from local businesses to help cover security costs for events involving alcohol; the donations are expected to be limited to about $300 per sponsor per event.
The court approved renewal of a janitorial contract with Sierra Pugh (listed in the packet as Sierra) at rates described in the contract, with total janitorial services not to exceed $30,000.
Commissioners also declared assorted nonworking kitchen equipment and a Bobcat brand leveler (serial/ID noted in packet) as surplus to be offered at public auction. The court approved all three items.
Garrity presented the arena financial report for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2025. Year-to-date revenues totaled $630,004.66 and year-to-date expenses were $621,940.61, producing an excess of revenues over expenses of $8,064.05. The arena finished roughly 7% under its budgeted expenses, Garrity said, and had self-generated about $480,000 of its revenue.
Planned capital projects include additional mat and stall purchases (estimated $60,000–$80,000) and potential vehicle replacement. Commissioners approved retaining the arena's excess revenues to support working capital.
Motions to approve the arena items and to accept the financial report carried by the court.
