Board keeps $75 nonrefundable application fee for single games after debate

The village board debated a proposed change to fees for athletic events and tournaments presented during the Double Day committee report. Molly (Speaker 5), who identified herself as representing the Double Day committee, said committee members were surprised a pricing change for individual applicants had not been shared with them and argued individual fees should be discussed at the committee level before being finalized. Finance staff explained that processing multiple refunds for low-dollar $25 applications imposed substantial administrative work, prompting the recommendation of a $75 nonrefundable application fee for single games to reduce repeated refund processing.
