Commission grants fairground fee waivers for local fundraisers with insurance conditions
Summary
The commission approved a conditional fee waiver for the Tremonton Women's Civic League pickleball fundraiser (Feb. 27–28) and a retroactive waiver plus approval for a March 21 fundraiser tied to the Oak Simper Memorial Rodeo; organizers confirmed required insurance and set up designated accounts for donations.
Terry Friedahl, president of the Tremonton Women's Civic League, asked the commission to waive fairgrounds fees for a two‑day pickleball fundraiser to support scholarships and food kits; the commission approved the fee waiver with the condition that the group obtain the county‑required insurance policy. “We do a lot of good things for our communities,” Friedahl said, describing scholarship and food‑kit programs.
Separately, Jody Simper described the Oak Simper Memorial Rodeo benefit (already held) and a related effort to raise funds for two families; commissioners approved a retroactive fee waiver for the indoor arena and approved a future March 21 fundraiser to benefit families of fallen officers. Detective Brent Jackson explained fundraising and account options and estimated lodging costs for the trip to the National Peace Officer Memorial at about $17,000 for county rooms and described broader needs near $72,000 for families and departmental support; commissioners approved facility use and encouraged coordination with designated accounts and insurance.
