N. Swain made <br />a motion to accept the minutes of the February meeting. J. Borawski seconded the motion. <br />Motion passed in favor of acceptance of the February 10, 2015 meeting minutes by a vote <br />of 7 -0 -0. <br />J. Feudo distributed an updated Field Fee and Procedure document. This document was <br />updated in draft form for review by the committee. J. Feudo went through the document <br />and discussed processes that were antiquated and no longer used or needed as well as fee <br />structures for field rentals. N. Swain asked about having a new category for non - profits <br />organizations in town. J. Feudo stated that the fees are only currently based on the <br />residency. The policy no longer needed a tournament fee as those types of events no <br />longer take place in Reading. J. Feudo felt the turf field at Parker should have a higher rate <br />of cost based on the market averages for turf fields. Currently the fee is $75 per hour, <br />however, the rate should be closer to $150 per hour. <br />J. Feudo mentioned that he also added in a fee hourly for light use. Currently, lights are <br />being paid for by the organizations that use them at the rate in which the town is charged. <br />The process is clunky and less than scientific. However, in the event a non - Reading group <br />wanted to reserve lights and a field, it seemed to make sense to have a rate similar to those <br />used by the Facilities Department. <br />The committee discussed several options, but arrived at no final decision. <br />Page 1 1 <br />
