AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and direction on whether to revise our County policy as
to park fees and insurance requirements for use of public facilities.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In October 2016, the BOCC approved an updated policy for reserving 2
County parks, facilities, and other properties, which included a revised fee schedule, among other
revisions. There is concern that the new policy could effectively bar community groups from y
utilizing our facilities due to new requirements and/or fees. Staff seeks direction from the BOCC as
to whether additional policy revisions should be made to allow community groups to use a facility
