BACKGROUND:
INFORMATION:
The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors established a Department of Parks and Recreation for the fiscal
year 2011-2012. One of the main functions for that department was to take over existing activities
concerning youth sports in Pittsylvania County.
DISCUSSION:
One of the main operations of the youth sports which pays for the officials, maintenance of the fields and
necessary electricity and other items related to the actual field or basketball activities is the gale fees. Since
the Pittsylvania County Department of Pazks and Recreation is a County department, it requires an ordinance
that authorizes the collection of gate fees for recreational activities in Pittsylvania County. Attached hereto,
for Chapter 36, is an amendment relating to the recreational gate fees authorizing gate fees for the entry and
attendance of any County Parks and Recreation run or sponsored event. It is necessary for this to be
established in order to have authority for gate fees and recreational activities.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors set the required public hearing for amendments to Chapter 36 of
the Pittsylvania County Code, to allow for recreational gate fees for the Department of Parks and Recreation.
