a. Parks and recreation facilities and programs shall be made available to the public of charge as far as possible. However, in the event 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 non-reverting 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 non-reverting capital fund for the purpose of acquiring land or making specific capital improvements from which expenditures may be made appropriation by 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 similar 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 Town Clerk-Treasurer either in the special non-reverting operating fund or in the non-reverting capital fund, as directed by the Board. However, in the event neither fund has been established, money received from fees or from the sale of surplus property shall be deposited in the Town General Fund. Money from either special fund may be disbursed only on approved claims allowed and signed by the President and Secretary of the Board.
c. Money placed in the special non-reverting capital fund may not be withdrawn except for the purposes for which the fund was created, unless the Town Council repeals the Ordinance creating the fund. The Town Council may not repeal the Ordinance under suspension of the rules.
d. Money procured from fees or received from the sale of surplus property under this Division shall be deposited at least once each month with the Town Clerk-Treasurer.
