Organized youth groups ( defined as organized groups and/or leagues with a majority membership of individuals under the age of 21 ) will receive a discounted rate for field usage. ( see attached fee schedule) The purpose of the fee schedule is to offset the rising cost of operation and maintenance at the three parks offering sport fields. The tremendous public use at these parks requires additional maintenance above what other county parks require. This fee schedule, combined with the work project agreement maximizes the benefits received by the county and it ' s residents. The work project agreement provides organized county groups the ability to work off their assessed field use fees for any given sport season as indicated by the Regulations for Work Projects form. Organized groups that choose to work off their field use fees in lieu of payment can be credited for 100% of the cost for a particular project , provided the project has the prior approval of parks staff, is completed in a timely and professional manner and passes a final parks staff inspection. ( see attached project and procedure forms ) All users of county owned parks are welcome to donate toward park. improvements at any county owned park . This donation can be in the form of cash , labor or materials . Prior to implementation of any donated project , a certificate outlining the project will be completed and approved by the Parks Department Supervisor. The Parks Advisory Boards ( where applicable) will have the opportunity to review and comment on volunteered work projects, to ensure that they comply with the immediate goals and priorities of the park . This citizens Advisory Board is critical in determining the needs of local park users and advises the Parks Department of these needs.
