Council waives shelter fees for Boy Scouts event
Summary
At its Aug. 4 meeting the Westfir City Council voted to waive facility fees for a Boy Scouts barbecue; councilors moved and seconded the measure and the motion passed unanimously.
A resident requested a fee waiver for the large shelter rental to host a Boy Scouts barbecue. Councilors discussed the amount and the refundable cleaning deposit, noting previous arrangements for the resident who has supported park maintenance.
Councilor (motion maker) moved to waive the rental fees and a colleague seconded. The council approved the waiver on a unanimous voice vote; staff will note the waiver for record-keeping and clarify deposit expectations for future events.
Why it matters: small municipal fee waivers are a common way to support community groups and volunteers; council members indicated they viewed the request as consistent with prior practice and community service.
