(A) Park and recreation facilities and programs shall be made available to the public free of charge as far as possible. However, if it is necessary in order to provide a particular activity, the Board may charge a reasonable fee.
(B) The Town Council may establish by ordinance, upon request of the Board:
(1) A special nonreverting operating fund for park purposes from which expenditures may be made as provided by ordinance, either by appropriation by the Board or by the Town Council; or
(2) A special nonreverting capital fund for the purpose of acquiring land or making specific capital improvements from which expenditures may be made by appropriation of the Town Council. The Town Council shall designate the fund or funds into which the Town Clerk-Treasurer shall deposit fees from golf courses, swimming pools, skating rinks, or other major facilities requiring major expenditures for management and maintenance. Money received from fees other than from major facilities or received from the sale of surplus property shall be deposited by the Clerk-Treasurer either in the special nonreverting operating fund or in the nonreverting capital fund as directed by the Park Board. However, if neither fund has been established, money received from fees or the sale of surplus property shall be deposited in the unit’s general fund. Money from either special fund may be disbursed on approved claims allowed and signed.
