[Adopted 5-9-1994 by Ord. No. 1883; amended

A reservation fee and proof of insurance is
hereby established for the use of athletic fields, courts for play
of basketball, volleyball, or tennis; and open-sided pavilions owned
by or maintained by the Township.
The person or team reserving the field, court
or pavilion shall obtain a Whitehall Township Recreation Facility
Permit Card from the Township upon payment of the fee and proof of
insurance and shall have that card in their possession at all times
while using the reserved facility. Persons or teams using an athletic
field, game court or pavilion without reservation shall yield the
facility to a person or team with such a valid reservation card.
The reservation fee is hereby established as
$25 per use per field, game court or open-sided pavilion. This fee
may hereinafter be revised by the Board of Commissioners by resolution
from time to time as they may deem appropriate. A "use" shall be the
expected length of a game or event, as determined by the Bureau Chief
of Recreation of Whitehall Township.
The amount of insurance required shall be in
the following amounts:
A.
Notwithstanding the above, Whitehall Township Resident
League Teams or groups shall be entitled to reserve a field, court
or pavilion without the payment of the reservation fee. Such fee-exempt

as Whitehall Township residents by its official roster or membership
list.
