Commissioners approve Mud Lake Fair small-animal building, cap $30,000
Summary
The Board approved construction of a small-animal building at the Mud Lake Fairgrounds so 4H can exhibit chickens and rabbits, accepting the low bid and capping county exposure at $30,000.
Carl Anderson, representing the Mud Lake Fair Board, asked the Jefferson County commissioners to approve construction of a new small-animal building so local 4H members can show chickens and rabbits. The board reviewed three bids and Anderson noted the low bid from Cherry Industries was $16,750 while an Amish firm quoted $21,000; Vanderbilt Barns submitted a higher alternate. Commissioner Clark moved to authorize the Fair Board to proceed with the building with a county spending cap of $30,000; Commissioner Young seconded and the motion passed with all three commissioners voting aye.
The Fair Board said some ground-preparation work will be required before construction. The county did not specify which exact site-prep costs, and board members said details about site prep and contractor scheduling will be finalized between the Fair Board and county staff.
