Board affirms no fee for local community events, retains fees for outside events

Board members discussed whether to charge fees for community events that involve local participation. The minutes record a decision not to charge those local events because the park was intended for community use; the board said fees will continue to be assessed for outside events.

The policy was recorded as a general principle rather than a precisely codified fee schedule; the minutes do not list criteria for defining 'local participation' or the fee rates for outside events, so administrative staff will need to translate this guidance into specific permitting language if they wish to formalize it.
