“So right now, the cost is all on employees. Because my understanding that the first time employer, that The idea for the state was that they start deducting a share from employee ahead of time to create funding. This is what I remember when they told us. I don't know. Maybe I don't remember it right. To create some pre-funding or buffer that they'd be able to pay the funding. But even if they're not going to do that, I think that it should be some kind of share of funding. I do not know who has the final approval on that, that it comes. It's something that comes to the planning board because…”

“Could you please? Let's go to the previous slide. Okay, so the fee waiver is just for the ground fees, facility fees, or use of the amenities. You had a slide that showed the component of cost. Could you take it to that one? Are you talking about slides? The graph bar. Yeah. That you had the component. Okay, yeah, yeah. Go back here. So basically, if I want to circle here that what fees could be waived, it's the second one that is the ground fee. That's the total. So that's like about, for total, would be like $17,000. And it's the shelter, that is another 1027. Field court is another six. an…”

“I think that is a fair and right thing to do. So that's put aside. Now I'm just thinking that I think this is going to be probably some people that are not going to be happy about it. And they're going to complain. What is the appeal process? And if someone says that, okay, I'm going to bring my own staff, I'm going to bring my own volunteer, I'm going to bring my own thing to do it, let me do it, because this could stop some of the people not to do the special event anymore. And, you know, I understand we don't want it, but I understand. So, What are the issues and how are we going to take…”

“Yeah. I could see that the policy, if we approve that, there are certain things that clear cut. Staff cannot be included. So that's a clear cut for that. But then the part that you're going to decide is 20%, 30%, 40% or whatever.”

“I totally agree with you. That's what I said, that I support you 100%. But I'm expecting that some of the, you know, they're going to be, you know, appealing. I do not know if we are, well, I guess that we have to be ready for that, that So the idea is that this is it, and this decision is done and approved by the planning board, and this is how we proceed. And we may lose some of these, but hopefully we gain some more. We don't know.”

“I think it's going to the right way. I think that it's time to do that. And that would be helpful. I just could see that some people say that we're going to bring our own volunteers and let us do it. Just be ready.”

“Yeah, that's to reduce the number of our staff. That's a good thing. That would be something that maybe we could look into that they could bring volunteers that do some of the work that I know that we cannot not have our staff there. They have to be there, totally supported. But maybe we could make it a little bit less that the cost can come down.”

“So if someone misses, so they still can't have the event. They're not just going to get the waiver. So it's on them to be late. All the waivers, they have application. Nobody's going to stop them to come to the park and have it, but everybody can go as long as there is a space available and they pay the fee. They're all welcome to do it.”
