Dec. 10–AZTEC The Farmington City Council has approved an agreement that paves the way for the Totah Theater to be transferred from San Juan County to the city following renovations.
The City Council voted on the agreement during its Dec. 8 meeting that was conducted via Zoom. City Manager Rob Mayes described it as a simple cost-sharing and full deed transfer agreement.
The full cost of purchasing and renovating the theater in downtown Farmington was $1.38 million, Mayes said. He said the county paid $1.1 million using capital outlay funding it received from the state. Farmington’s portion for the theater is $275,000. The city will reimburse the county for a fire suppression system that will be installed as well as the new roof needed to support that fire suppression system. The city will also provide money for security upgrades and a system to access the building using a card.
