Commissioners approve fee waiver for Blue Haven Foundation event with finding of public benefit
Summary
The commission approved waiving an event permit fee and park reservation fee for Blue Haven Foundation’s Benjamin Park event after confirming the group’s 501(c)(3) status and finding that public benefit outweighs the waived fees; motion passed 2–0.
The Utah County Board on July 3 approved a request from the Blue Haven Foundation to waive an event permit fee for county roads and a park reservation fee for an event at Benjamin Park.
Commissioner Lee asked whether an application had been filed and verified that the organization is a 501(c)(3). Commissioners said they would require findings that the public good equals or exceeds the value of the waived fees. Commissioner Lee amended his motion to include a finding that there is fair and adequate benefit to the county; the presiding commissioner seconded. The motion passed 2–0. Staff were asked to check potholes on the event route and to verify whether any affected roads are state roads.
The commission said the group should report back about the public benefit resulting from the event after it occurs.
