Plans to expand tournament opportunities and to develop alternative funds for recreation were unveiled here last Wednesday at a meeting of the County Recreation Board. The board approved extending softball play beyond Labor Day, but imposed some fees to' offset costs of offering such opportunities. A spokesman for the soft-ba- ll explained that tournaments are often requested and in previous years the county has simply turned down the requests. Those tournaments requiring lights will be charged a $10 per game fee, plus $10 per hour per diamond and $5.50 per hour for a maintenance super- visor to be on hand if there is no admission charge to the games. Those charging admission will pay a $20 per game fee and the same hourly costs. Without lights there will be the same costs, minus the $10 per hour game fee. The fields to be available for such are the Cottonwood Complex and the new ts four-diamo- field at Valley Regional park.
