(the “Cooperation Act”), and, as such, are authorized by the Cooperation Act to enter into this Agreement to act jointly and cooperatively on the basis of mutual advantage in order to provide facilities in a manner that will accord best with geographic, economic, population and other factors influencing the needs and development of local communities; and
WHEREAS, the County receives funds (“TRCC Funds”) pursuant to the Tourism, Recreation, Cultural, Convention, and Airport Facilities Tax Act, Utah Code Ann. §§ 59-12-601 et seq. (the “TRCC Act”). The TRCC Act provides that TRCC Funds may be used for, among other things, the development, operation, and maintenance of publicly owned or operated cultural and recreation facilities; and
