Sevier County conditionally approves five-year Forest Service special use permit for recreation events
Summary
The Commission approved a five-year Forest Service Special Use Application and Permit for recreation events, on the condition of County Attorney approval; Tourism Director Amy Myers highlighted the change from prior one-year permits.
Sevier County Commissioners on May 27 approved a Forest Service Special Use Application and Permit for recreation events, but made the approval conditional on review and approval by the County Attorney.
Tourism Director Amy Myers told commissioners that historically the permit had been handled year to year, and that the current submission is for a five-year term which she felt merited Commission review. Commissioners noted that the Bureau of Land Management’s permit for the ATV Jamboree had been a 10-year permit and that Attorney Casey Jewkes had not yet reviewed the Forest Service application. Commissioner Greg Jensen moved to approve the special use application and permit on condition of County Attorney approval; Commissioner Ralph Brown seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes record the Commission’s conditional approval but provide no further detail about permit conditions, the specific events covered, or financial or liability terms. The item was approved with direction that counsel review the five-year arrangement before final execution.
