§ 27-2. Fees.

(a)

The city council may, by resolution, set all fees for the use of the city's parks and recreational facilities and programs. The city council may set different fees for city residents and for nonresidents using or participating in the same parks, facilities and programs.

(b)

Unless such fees have otherwise been set by the city council, the parks and recreation director may set fees for the use of the city's parks and recreational facilities and programs. However, except for special events, nothing in this section shall be construed as granting the parks and recreation director the authority to impose a general fee for the use and enjoyment of city parks by the public. Any such fee shall be approved by the city council. The parks and recreation director may set different fees for city residents and for nonresidents using or participating in the same parks, facilities or programs.

(c)

No fees paid pursuant to this chapter for the use of any city park or recreational facility or program shall be refunded if:

(1)

The person requesting a refund uses or participates in the park, facility or program for which the fee has been paid, even if such use or participation is not as extensive as such person was entitled to; or

(2)

The person fails to request a refund in a timely manner which permits the city to avoid incurring unnecessary costs or losing replacement revenues as a result of issuing a refund.
