The Board held a discussion regarding
the current fee structure for attending some of the
events scheduled for the town people. They discussed
concerns members have observed or heard about related
to the fee structure. Both board members and administration
noted that they have received many complaints about
the fee structure. Katherine Lee noted that one suggestion
is to stop charging $3 for children attending these
events. Mike Drew also noted that we should consider
reducing these fees. Discussion also centered on clarifying
obligatory activities vs. choice-based activities. The
discussion continued on the pros and cons of charging
admission fees. The Board verbally agreed to discuss
more on this topic after gathering more information
