(a) Park and recreation facilities and
programs shall be made available to the public free of charge as far as
possible. However, if it is necessary in order to provide a particular
activity, the board may charge a reasonable fee.
(b) The unit's fiscal body may establish by ordinance, upon request
of the board:
(1) a special nonreverting operating fund for park purposes from
which expenditures may be made as provided by ordinance, either
by appropriation by the board or by the unit's fiscal body; or
(2) a special nonreverting capital fund for the purpose of
acquiring land or making specific capital improvements from
which expenditures may be made by appropriation by the unit's
fiscal body.
The unit's fiscal body shall designate the fund or funds into which the
unit's fiscal officer (or county treasurer) shall deposit fees from golf
courses, swimming pools, skating rinks, or other major facilities
requiring major expenditures for management and maintenance. Money
received from fees other than from major facilities or received from the
sale of surplus property shall be deposited by the unit's fiscal officer (or
county treasurer) either in the special nonreverting operating fund or
in the nonreverting capital fund, as directed by the board. However, if
neither fund has been established, money received from fees or from
the sale of surplus property shall be deposited in the unit's general fund.
Money from either special fund may be disbursed only on approved
claims allowed and signed by the president and secretary of the board.
(c) Money placed in the special nonreverting capital fund may not
be withdrawn except for the purposes for which the fund was created,
unless the fiscal body repeals the ordinance establishing the fund. The
fiscal body may not repeal the ordinance under suspension of the rules.
(d) Money procured from fees or received from the sale of surplus
property under section 12 of this chapter shall be deposited at least
once each month with the fiscal officer of the unit.
