Selectmen, Recreation seek input on new field fees
By Mike BergerThe Canton Recreation Commission, Recreation Director Janet Maguire, and the Board of Selectmen are asking for public input on a proposed new fee schedule for use of town fields that would take effect January 1, 2015. Selectmen are asking for a final recommendation from the Recreation Commission before the board’s next meeting on November 18. One public hearing was held and another will be held before the November 18 meeting.
Below are the proposed fees for athletic groups. The decision on fees for the School Department is still in discussions between the town, the School Committee, and School Superintendent Jeff Granatino.
Canton-based youth sports groups: $10 per participant for non-lit fields and $15 per participant for lit fields.
Grandfathered or existing youth and adult leagues: (youth) $200 per team for 20 uses and (adults) $250 per team for 20 uses. An additional fee of $50 will be charged for leagues that use lights.
Camps and clinics: $2 per day per participant.
Canton charitable organizations with proceeds benefiting the town or a town resident: $15 per two-hour block of time.
One-time rentals: Canton residents, $30 per two-hour block of time; Canton businesses and non-Canton charitable organizations, $60 per two-hour block of time; non-Canton residents and private entities, $60 per two-hour block of time. Additional fee of $15 per hour for use of lit fields.
Multiple-use rentals: $60 per two-hour block of time, up to five uses.
