PURPOSE <br />To adopt an official policy to establish a set of fees and charges that is fair and <br />equitable for the use of facilities and equipment and the participation in programs <br />sponsored by the Cabarrus County Active Living and Parks Department. <br />This policy, upon adoption by the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, <br />shall be applicable to all individuals for the use of facilities and recreation <br />equipment and the participation in programs conducted by the Cabarrus County <br />Active Living and Parks Department until such time as it is altered, modified, or <br />rescinded by the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners. <br />II.
