Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 4 <br />December 8, 2021 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />turned on for fifteen minutes over the course of a month, plus the Energy Charge <br />per hour. <br /> <br />Chair Williams suggests increasing the rate for groups that have below 60% <br />participant residency to $45 per day for lights and 60-69% participant residency to <br />$35 per day for lights and keep the rates lower for groups that have 70% and above <br />participant residency at $25 per day for lights to keep the cost down for tax paying <br />citizens. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holmgren asked what percentage would be subsidized with the <br />additional rate of $4 per hour of use.
