Superior won’t be raising fees on park pavilions and ballfields when the city implements new reservation software after all.
Instead, the city will use revenue from its capital improvement program to pay for the software, said Linda Cadotte, director of parks, recreation and forestry.
“The mayor thought it would be beneficial to leave the fees at the rate that they’re at and not factor in an increase in fees,” Cadotte said.
