Town board approves $100 combined season pass for Alexandria students, costs split with village

The town board voted to let students who live in the town of Alexandria use village sports facilities this season under a combined $100 pass, with the village and the town each covering half of the cost.

A committee member outlined the proposal and called for a formal motion: "So we need a motion to allow the students that live and reside in the town of Alexandria to use our facility for all 3 sports we're talking about to have a season pass." The proposal called for a single pass covering golf, tennis and pickleball and suggested issuing cards to participating students for identification and accounting.

Staff member noted logistical and pricing considerations, saying she would bring participation counts back to the town board at season's end: "I'll bring it to the town board and say, hey, we had 25 kids and maybe it will generate more." Officials discussed residency checks (school ID or proof of town residency) and the fact the town contains multiple school districts, so verification should be by town residency rather than a single school enrollment.

Board members used participation examples to estimate cost and revenue: speakers noted past participation numbers ranging from single digits to mid‑20s and gave illustrative totals (for example, 25 kids would represent about $2,500 gross at $100 each before the town/village split and any cart or league fees).

The motion was recorded as "Motion by Tim" and was noted as seconded by Jan on the transcript; members voiced approval with "all in favor," after a brief moment of confusion about the second. The board did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript and exact tallies were not specified.

Officials asked staff to implement tracking and to report participation and financial results after the season. The season dates discussed were May 1 through Sept. 15.
