Parks board adopts dictionary definition of 'tournament,' advances fee schedule changes to subcommittee and approves public park use
Summary
The board of parks chose to use a dictionary definition of "tournament" to prevent future conflicts when adopting a new fee schedule and sent the proposed fee changes to a parks and recreation subcommittee; the board also approved park use for the general public.
The board of parks voted to use a dictionary definition of "tournament" when finalizing new rules and a proposed fee schedule, a change intended to avoid future interpretive conflicts. The board also approved public park use and sent the proposed fee schedule to a parks and recreation subcommittee for further review and public input.
Board members said adopting a clear, dictionary-based definition should limit disputes over whether an event constitutes a tournament under the new fee rules. The proposed fee schedule was described as being informed by charges levied by surrounding communities; the board did not adopt the fee schedule itself and instead referred it to a subcommittee where council members and the public can weigh in.
The transcript did not include vote tallies for the board's actions or the exact dictionary source cited.
The next step is a subcommittee review that will include council members and opportunities for public comment.
