Allocation of use of the facilities shall be made according to the rules or decisions of regulatory agencies affecting the same and where the rules or decisions are not effective to resolve a dispute between conflicting users or potential users, the matter shall be submitted for resolution to the Town Administrator/Town Clerk, subject to appeal to the Board of Alderpersons.
