South River introduces ordinance updating recreation program and field fees
Summary
Ordinance 2026-02, introduced Jan. 19, lists revised fees for recreation programs and park uses — from youth baseball and basketball to field lighting and banquet charges — and includes exemptions for borough-sponsored leagues and schools.
The Borough Clerk read Ordinance 2026-02 by title on Jan. 19, proposing amendments to Chapter 155 (Fees) to set or revise fees for recreation programs and athletic field use. The ordinance lists specific fees for dozens of programs — for example, Baseball League $150, T‑Ball $75, Basketball League $150, Tennis $125, Pop Warner Football $225 — and establishes athletic field lighting fees ($25 per hour) and different field rental rates for residents/nonprofits versus for‑profit or nonresident organizations.
The ordinance text includes operational details such as sibling discounts ($25), late registration fees for closed registration, nonresident fees, coach credits, and refund policies for rainouts. The ordinance was introduced on first reading and will return for a second reading and public hearing per statutory requirements.
