Perth trustees debate revising community-center fees; no final vote
Summary
Trustees discussed revising the community-center fee schedule, including resident vs. nonresident rates, a refundable cleaning fee, and a $250 damage deposit; staff will draft specific options for a future vote.
Trustees discussed changes to the village community-center fee schedule but took no final action. Proposals at the meeting included keeping a discounted rate for residents, raising nonresident fees (suggested $150), maintaining or revising hourly/half-day vs. full-day pricing, a refundable cleaning fee (suggested $50), and adding a damage deposit of $250 to cover potential losses.
Board members debated verification methods for residency (driver's license, billing address, zip-code rules) and discussed nearby municipalities' practices as examples. Dina (trustee) voiced support for giving residents a break while charging more for nonresidents. Staff were asked to return proposed fee-schedule language and implementation details at the next meeting.
Outcome: No motion was made to ratify new fees. Trustees asked staff to compile options and the board will consider a vote next month after members submit suggestions by email.
