The committee will decide whether to recommend a rate increase.
The parks and recreation committee is scheduled meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 18 in the commissioners' meeting room at the municipal building.

During a public meeting with the Parks and Recreation board this week, township leaders discussed nearly doubling the youth rate at the CRC. They proposed raising the fee from $17.25 per month to $30.25 per month for youth members ages 10 through 18. “Youth users are responsible for the most wear and tear on the facility,” said Paul Besterman, CRC director. But commissioners said the hike isn’t meant as a penalty to the 182 youth members of the facility. “We’d be bringing the youth…
