Maryville council adopts revised parks and recreation fee schedule

The Maryville Town Council voted 7-0 on Aug. 12 to adopt Ordinance 25-17, which revises the town—s fee schedule for the parks and recreation department. Nut graf: The fee changes, which were reworked by the parks department and reviewed by council committees before coming to the full council, will take effect as authorized by the ordinance; council members said the updates reflect program costs and administrative needs. Councilor Pettit moved to approve the ordinance; the motion carried on a roll-call vote with all seven members recorded in favor. President Bello called the vote after a brief presentation and questions from council members. Council members did not request additional amendments on the council floor. The ordinance was described in council discussion as the product of committee review and department-level calculations; no financial totals or specific new fee amounts were read into the record at the meeting. The council—s action is a final legislative decision on the fee changes. Any details about when individual new fees take effect or how they will be published were not specified during the meeting; residents are expected to see updates through town communications and the parks department once administrative steps are complete. Ending: The council scheduled its next regular meeting for Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m., where related implementation details could appear on future agendas.
