Anna Council unanimously approves resolution to end fees for use of park facilities

Fees which had been charged for use of the Anna City Park are officially a thing of the past.

The matter was on the agenda at a regular meeting of the Anna City Council which was held Tuesday evening, Feb. 18. The meeting was at Anna City Hall.

At the meeting, the city council unanimously approved Resolution 2020-08, which repealed fees which had been charged for use of the park.

Guidelines which had been in place levied fees for use of sports fields at the park by several local teams and leagues. Effective immediately, those fees no longer will be charged.

Elimination of the fees had been proposed recently by city council Michael Bigler. 

Bigler and other city officials have agreed that efforts should be made to encourage use of Anna’s park facilities.

The city will still require an application by those who want to use the park. The application will allow the city to monitor the use of the facilities.

In other business at the meeting, the council discussed ongoing talks with the Union County Sheriff’s Office regarding the cost of general dispatch services. Other Union County municipalities also are engaged in the talks.
