Cmmr. Drexler/Shutty moved and seconded to approve action items 8.1 through 8.9 with
the removal of item 8.7 for discussion. Motion carried unanimously. N-aye; S-aye; D-aye.
8.7 Frank Pinter discussed the rate increase noting that a rate review was done in 2017. The
Parks fee policy allows for an annual increase which has not been done since 2009. Frank
noted that the prices are based on the Consumer Price Index. He read through the
proposed changes.
Cmmr. Drexler questioned the need for deposits. Frank explained that in the past people
have canceled late causing the County to lose revenue many times over.
Carissa Smith with Mason County Youth Baseball voiced concern over the required
deposit and noted how requiring their funds up front will be a burden to the families. She
said that the Regional Athletic Complex (RAC) in Lacey has a flat fee and discussed how
their fee schedule may work better than the proposed changes. Carissa and the Board
had a lengthy discussion on possible options.
Cmmr. Drexler questioned if a clause could be added to assist in this increase for the first
year to prevent hardships. Frank agreed that some provisions could be done this first
year. Cmmr. Shutty suggested tabling this item as suggested by Cmmr. Neatherlin to
hold more discussion. To prevent further issues with reserving the field, the Board asked
to discuss the deposit in more detail before implementation.
Cmmr. Drexler/Shutty moved and seconded to approve item 8.7, minus the
deposit which will be discussed February 6, 2018. Motion carried unanimously.
N-aye; S-aye; D-aye.
