Babbitt SPRINGVILLE HERALD Local nonprofit organizations that use SpringviUe City facilities free of charge were notified by letter last week of a proposed fee schedule for use of city facilities that, if implemented, could drive some of those organizations out of business. However, a SpringviUe City official said a proposed city facility facil-ity use policy that accompanied the fee schedule will likely, when approved by the city council, include in-clude a way for organizations to have their fees waived in consideration consid-eration of the service they provide pro-vide for the city. The city facility use policy and fee schedule were mailed out along with a letter signed by SpringviUe City Director of Buildings and Grounds Alex Ro-ylance. Ro-ylance. The items were mailed to organizations including the American Legion, the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, the Hobble Creek Riding Club, the Musettes, the SpringviUe Arts Commission, the SpringviUe Chamber of Commerce, Com-merce, the SpringviUe Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, Youthnet and the SpringviUe Playhouse. The letter from Roylance states that the purpose of the new pott-cy pott-cy is "to make sure that the City is aware of aU users and uses of aU City faculties and grounds, to be aware of aU responsible parties, par-ties, and to recoup the costs to the City for f acuity use." The fee schedule contains a list of city faculties fa-culties and two lists of proposed use fees - one for nonprofit and charitable organizations and the other for "aU others." The letter also informed the groups of a meeting to be held on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. in the SpringviUe City Council Chambers where representatives of the groups wiU be able to discuss their ideas and suggestions for the proposed policy pol-icy with city administration and city council members. The letter "strongly" recommends that only one member from each group attend at-tend the meeting. Groups who received the letter responded with concerns regarding regard-ing the proposed rate schedule and how the value of service See PROPOSED NONPROFITS NON-PROFITS FEES on page 3 1 1 . r t i f mmmmm i i i V Y 1 j f It M L t ; Ik Photo by Chief Scott FintaysonSpringville City Police Department A laroe home on the edqe of Kelly's Grove caught fire Sunday night and was totally destroyed.
