Daly’s resignation is in the wake o f a proposed renovation o f the fairgrounds. The county has adver tised for bids on a “ comprehensive development plan for the fairgrounds and athletic fields." “ It’s a dangerous precedent when county officials start running the fair board," said Daly. “ There are state statutes to keep county politics out o f the fairs.” The county’s invitation to bid on a development plan would include ‘ ‘p ossib le location o f future buildings, roads, restrooms, conces sion stands, parking and amusements associated with fair activities." “ In addition," says the county notice, “ portions o f the fair grounds are dedicated to athletic events such as football, baseball, track and field and rodeo activities. Reconfiguration o f these existing areas will be necessary along with the supporting utilities. The Development Plan will include five construction phases along with estimated cost for each phase. ” Bids were to be closed May 9. But, Daly says, “ there’s no way they could ever finance that." He maintains the master plan is a waste o f taxpayers’ money. Judge Louis Carlson, however, says that the county needs a master plan in response to a request from the public to renovate the sports area, including the lighting system used primarily for football games. He says that the county is not in terested in m anaging the fairgrounds The fair board has received an estimate o f $20.000 to install new lights for the football field and shorten the light poles from 80 to 54 feet. Daly says that he feels that peo ple already employed by the county have enough expertise to develop a plan for fairgrounds improvements and that money for the plan would be better spent on the lighting system. Concerning his resignation from the board. Daly said that because of his busy schedule he doesn’t feel he could dedicate the time required to hold a board position. Daly, 60, has been on the board since 1978. He began his involve ment on the fair committee in 1958. During his tenure Daly says the board has installed fences, new grandstands and a metal shed. Daly also served as the fair director for the State Fairs Association. “ It’s time for someone new to come on," he said. “ I wish them all good luck." Other fair board members are Richard Ladd, Merlyn Robinson, Harold Peck and Rob Meacham.
