suggestions and comments in our program. It should also be noted that Staff have always
made themselves available throughout the season to discuss issues and concerns as they
anse.
2.4 2001 Fees
Staff have reviewed the existing fees and rates and have compared our rates to neighbouring
municipalities to assist us in setting our fees (Attachment No.1).
Staff are recommending an increase in the adult ball fees and the light fees for both youth
and adult.
A new fee is being recommended for park events such as special events, picnics etc. At
present we have never charged a fee for any special events including weddings, photos,
picnics, family reunions etc. As. there are costs involved in providing the service, whether it
is garbage pickup, additional staff etc., Public Works is suggesting a new permit fee of
$10.00 per hour and $25.00 per hour for non-residents.
2.5 Sportsfield Permit Guide
Staff have updated the Sportsfield Permit Information Guide which can be found in the
Councillors' Library. The pwpose of the guide is to assist the public in understanding their
responsibilities and our standard operating procedures. Each permit applicant will be given
the guide and will acknowledge the approved terms and conditions. Also included in the
guide are the alcohol management procedures which outline how we will deal with illegal
use of alcohol in our municipal parks.
2.6 Vandalism In Our Parks
Staff have been concerned about the increase of incidents of vandalism in our parks system.
Staff will continue to monitor the problem and will enlist the help of the Regional Police,
residents, schools etc. to address overall safety and to promote crime prevention.
