Milford Recreation Commission approves 80% field-fee waiver for Junior Spartans
Summary
The Milford Recreation Commission voted to continue a longstanding discounted rate for the Milford Junior Spartans, approving an 80% waiver of standard field fees for the 2025 season and directing staff to issue an invoice.
The Milford Recreation Commission voted unanimously May 21 to approve an 80% waiver of standard field fees for the Milford Junior Spartans for the 2025 season.
The waiver continues a multi‑year arrangement under which the youth football and cheer organization pays 20% of normal field rates. Kevin Sim, who said he is the fields director for the Milford Junior Spartans, described the group as "an organization dedicated to providing a positive and safe environment for children to learn and grow" and asked the commission to continue the reduced rate. Josh Fujino, identified as the Spartans’ president, said the group has relied on town fields and volunteers for many years.
Commission discussion touched briefly on usage and cost. The commission chair moved to approve the 80% waiver; a commissioner identified as Karen seconded the motion. The chair called the vote and, after vocal assent, stated, "All in favor? Aye." The commission did not attach additional conditions in the meeting.
The department staff said they would prepare and send an invoice to the organization by the end of the week. The commission did not change the hourly field rates themselves at the meeting; commissioners noted the normal rates are charged by the hour and that last year the Spartans paid several hundred dollars in total after the discount.
The decision formalizes continuing the established discount for the 2025 season and leaves billing and invoicing to recreation staff.
