At-a-glance: committee denies fee-waiver request, updates rental policy, approves park plaque and soccer-shelter donation

At this meeting the Marshfield Parks & Recreation committee recorded multiple outcomes on facility use and policy: a request to waive the Wildwood Station rental fee was denied; the committee approved a revision to the facility rental policy that removes most fee waivers except for formally city‑sanctioned events; the committee authorized installation of a family-funded honorary plaque at Greasy Park; and it accepted a donation to buy two mobile player shelters for local soccer fields.

Wildwood Station: Parks staff summarized a fee‑waiver request from Tom Buck to use Wildwood Station for a memorial brat fry; a committee member moved to deny the $336 waiver on budgetary grounds, a second was recorded, and the motion carried by voice vote. Several members volunteered to donate the fee privately.

Facility rental policy: Staff proposed clarifying language that states facility rentals are subject to the standard fee schedule and removes discounted or complimentary fees except for events formally authorized, sponsored, or funded by the city. The committee voted to approve the changes by voice vote; staff said the policy defines "city sanctioned events" and noted there is not a formal citywide sanctioning process documented in the record.

Greasy Park plaque: The committee approved a family-funded plaque recognizing Dr. George and Margaret Creasy (the family will cover plaque costs and asked the department to assist with installation). The motion carried by voice vote.

Donation for player shelters: Staff presented a donor offer to provide $11,440 for two mobile shelters to be purchased from Net World Sports for use primarily on McKeown Field; the committee voted to accept the donation and proceed with purchase and installation.

In each case the meeting record shows voice votes with "aye" recorded; no roll‑call tallies were provided in the transcript.
