The statement shall be given to the member at least 10 days prior to the hearing, at which the member must have an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel. When the county court removes a member of the fair board, a record of the proceedings, together with the cause for removal and findings thereon, shall be filed in the office of the county clerk. 565.230 Management of county fairs; licenses; disposition of proceeds; donations of real property; agreements for limitation of liability. (1) The county fair board has the exclusive management of the ground and all other property owned, leased, used or controlled by the county and devoted to the use of the county fair, and is entrusted and charged with the entire business management and financial and other affairs of such fair. (2) In order that the fairgrounds and buildings may be utilized to the fullest extent for pleasure, recreation and public benefit, the board shall at all times have the authority to provide park facilities for the public or to issue licenses and grant permits for the holding of any exhibitions, shows, carnivals, circuses, dances, entertainments or public gatherings upon the fairgrounds. During the progress of county agricultural or industrial fairs and not otherwise, any such businesses so licensed by the board shall not be required to pay license to any city or county other than to the board as provided in this section.

(4) A county court may conclude that an agreement is needed to protect the county and the county court from liability relating to personnel or contractual matters. If the county court asks the county fair board to begin negotiations for an agreement, the county fair board and the county court must enter into an agreement concerning the rules, policies and procedures to be used in the conduct of fair activities for the purpose of limiting the liability of the county for personnel and contractual matters. However, if a county court determines that an agreement is unnecessary or that an existing agreement provides sufficient protection from liability, then an agreement under this subsection is not required. 565.240 Rules and regulations; peace officers; appointment and powers.

If there existed on June 4, 1913, a county fair board, or an agricultural society in any county holding a county fair within the county, the board shall be considered the county fair board of the county by the provisions of ORS 565.210 to 565.310, and shall be governed under the rules and bylaws already in force of the association, provided there is only one county fair held in each county. [Amended by 2005 c.22 §384] 565.265 Abolishment of county fair board. (1) As provided in this section and ORS 565.268 and 565.271, a county court may abolish the county fair board appointed under ORS 565.210. (2) A county court may initiate proceedings to abolish the county fair board by issuing an order creating a county fair advisory committee with six members who shall all be residents of the county. Upon issuance of the order under this subsection, the county court shall appoint three members to the advisory committee and the county fair board shall appoint three members. The advisory committee shall consider the relevant issues and make recommendations concerning the abolition of the county fair -28 board and, if abolition is recommended, the future operation of the county fair by either a fair association or a fair district. If a majority of the advisory committee agrees that abolishing the county fair board is in the best interests of the residents of the county, the advisory committee shall recommend abolition of the county fair board. If the advisory committee recommends abolition of the county fair board, the county court and the county fair board may meet to consult and negotiate concerning the future operation of the county fair and fairgrounds. If the county court and the county fair board agree that it is in the best interests of the residents of the county to have a fair association or fair district replace the county fair board, the county court may adopt a resolution that expresses the intention of the county court to abolish the county fair board, sets forth the reasons for the intended action, states that either a fair association or a fair district will replace the county fair board and declares that the abolition of the county fair board is in the best interests of the residents of the county. (3) A resolution adopted by a county court under subsection (2) of this section must be accompanied by a resolution adopted by the county fair board that acknowledges the proposed action of the county court and declares that abolition of the county fair board is in the best interests of the residents of the county. The resolution adopted by a county fair board under this subsection must be adopted at a regular public meeting of the county fair board and filed with the county court. (4) After adoption of the resolutions described in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, the county court shall conduct a public hearing concerning the abolition of the county fair board at which testimony of interested persons and other evidence shall be received. (5) Notice of the public hearing required by subsection (4) of this section shall be published twice in at least two newspapers of general circulation in the county. The first notice shall be published between the 90th day and the 60th day before the hearing. The second notice shall be published between the 30th day and the 20th day before the hearing. (6) After the public hearing required by subsection (4) of this section, the county court shall consider the testimony given and the other evidence received at the hearing. If the county court determines that abolishing the county fair board is in the best interests of the residents of the county, the county court shall issue an order abolishing the county fair board and authorizing either the creation of a fair district or an agreement with a fair association for the purpose of managing and operating the county fair. The abolition of the county fair board shall be effective on the date specified in the order. 565.268 Agreements for fair association to exercise powers of county fair board. (1) As used in this section, a “fair association” means a corporation incorporated under ORS chapter 65 that has a board of directors with at least three members and that is authorized by its articles of incorporation to exercise the powers and perform the functions exercised and performed by a county fair board under ORS 565.210 to 565.310. (2) If the order issued by a county court under ORS 565.265 authorizes an agreement with a fair association, the county court, before the abolition of the county fair board, shall enter into an agreement with a fair association for the management and operation of the county fair. Except as otherwise provided in the agreement, a fair association may exercise all of the powers and authority granted to a county fair board under ORS 565.210 to 565.310. (3) An agreement between a county court and a fair association under this section may not provide for the conveyance or other transfer of public property to the fair association unless the public property is transferred as allowed by the laws of this state. 565.271 Initiation of proceedings for replacement of county fair board by fair district. If the order issued by a county court under ORS 565.265 authorizes the formation of a fair district to replace the county fair board, the county court, before the abolition of the county fair board, shall initiate the formation of the fair district by order as provided in ORS 198.835.
