Park use fees and town finances raised in public comment

Summary

A resident told the commission the Parks and Sustainability Commission is moving toward charging hourly fees — roughly $100+ per hour — for sports field use, with higher rates for non-residents, and argued the town's spending-versus-revenue figures don't add up. Verbal communications items get no commission action, but the concerns about fees and budget transparency were put on the record.
