Feudo handed out an updated version of the late payment policy. The committee felt that in the instance someone must pay late, the payment should be received based on the length of the ro am. - For-example -forashort-term ro am 2weeks or less a late payment- should-be - received before the program ends. For a long-term program (more than 2 weeks) full payment should be collected no more than 15 days after the program has officially begun. This would not apply to those that work out individual payment plans. J. Feudo stated that the only program the Recreation Division has traditionally had difficulty collecting on is travel basketball because the participants do not pay until teams are established. The Rec. Division will look for a new process that will help with this program. Code of Conduct for Boards, Committees, and Commissions J. Feudo discussed the Code of Conduct for Boards, Committees, and Commissions. The Recreation Committee discussed and had no issue with the code. Administrators Report J.
