Parks committee approves fee waivers, considers more rigid policy
After some deliberation the Maricopa Parks, Recreation and Library Committee voted Aug. 23 to grant requests for fee waivers from organizations looking to host events at Copper Sky.
The approval to waive certain fees for both the Relay for Life event and a Maricopa High School Alumni football game came after much concern was voiced by members of the committee about the dependency organizations may develop on fee waivers and how the loss of those funds affects the city’s bottom line.
Last year, the city waived around $2,500 in fees for Relay for Life, leaving about $500 in costs for the organization to foot.
