The director may charge fees for use of expendable recreation equipment belonging to the town. Such fees shall be reasonable and shall be based on the type of activity for which the equipment is to be used, the time of use, and the condition of the equipment. When returned to the department of parks and recreation, a portion of the damage deposit shall be refunded after retaining the fair market value of the damages, if any. Failure to return equipment shall cause forfeiture of the damage deposit. The director shall prepare, in duplicate, an itemized list of equipment issued and shall set forth thereon the deposit paid for each item issued. [Ord. 2001-11; prior code § 15-6-1.]

B. The users of any park facility referred to in this chapter may request special maintenance of any athletic facility referred to in this chapter. The request shall be in writing at least 24 hours prior to the requested special maintenance.

12.30.030 Procedure for waiver of fees.

The fees established in this chapter for use of recreation facilities may be waived in whole or in part by the town manager or his or her delegate. The criteria used for waiver or partial waiver of such fees shall be based on the individual’s or applicant’s ability to pay. Waiver or partial waiver of a fee shall not prevent the town manager or his or her delegate from requiring a full or partial fee for subsequent participation by an individual or applicant. No waiver shall be given for participation in team league sports. The director shall maintain a roster of those who have been granted waivers or partial waivers of fees provided for herein. Obtaining waiver or partial waiver of any fee authorized to be waived or partially waived as provided for herein, by furnishing false information to the town manager or his or her delegate, shall be a violation of this section. [Ord. 2001-11; prior code § 15-6-3.]
