RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The facility at Utah Field House of Natural History State Park was too small to contain and preserve all the artifacts that have come into the possession of the Division of Parks and Recreation. The structure did not have the proper facilities for professional examination and care of the artifacts. With the new fieldhouse in place, it is time to adjust fees for use of the new facility. Fees to include entrance to the Field House, including use of the training room (per session); theater (per session); Lobby area (per session); and use of the entire museum (per day).

 

Summary of the rule or change:

The Utah Field House of Natural History has a new facility with more features, and more capacity to house and preserve precious artifacts for display to the public. This building will be used by the public for business and private purposes. Changes in the current fee schedule will allow nominal fees to be charged to the public to help offset the expenses incurred with the new building and expanded services.

 

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 63-11-17

 

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

It is estimated that this change in the fee structure for the Utah Field House of Natural History will increase state revenue by $150,000.

 

local governments:

This change in the rules will increase tax collections for Vernal City by an amount less than $10,000.

 

other persons:

Visitors to the Field House will pay an increased fee to enter the facilities per the change in this amendment to the rule. For each visitor the increase will be approximately $3 per visit. This change would almost double the current fee they are paying.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

If a person or persons wishing to visit the Utah Field House of Natural History will not pay the nominal fee to enter, they will be denied entry to the Field House. This choice not to pay the new fee is based on the fact that the fee would have been increased by $3.

 

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

While the new fee may deter some would-be entrants from visiting the Field House - and, by extension, purchasing nearby goods and services - it is likely that this effect is more than offset by the attractiveness of the new facility. No negative fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated from the proposed change.
