Thanks for the info, srvive. (And welcome to the forums!)
The Community Education Committee has been notified of this and should be getting on top of things. If you would like to help out with this or nay of the other items of business that will come that way, volunteer to help in the Announcements Forum!
On the Left Side of the Road...What some fools.
Although I don’t live or generally play in Brown County, I expect this will be an easy and silent way for other counties to impose another user tax. This happens frequently with other items (1/2% sales tax anyone?). Silently slip it in on a weekday board meeting, with no representation.. that’s what I expect. It’s easy to pick on a “niche” use. From what I see, Frisbee golfers cause far more impact than other folks.
Maybe we should bill back for the CITO events, after all we are performing a service (sarcasm). I am disturbed by the general apathy, most folks only shrug their shoulders and say “it’s only a few dollars”, and let the ridiculous rules be done. That’s how the stadium tax stayed after the stadium was done, and other use fees get slipped in, one by one.
I will monitor things in my county (outagamie), but unless you get the local paper, read it each day, and look for the fine print of the local government section, you will miss it.
Have we done some proactive community outreach to those counties that have not already made this decision?
My wife and I just started caching after buying a handheld GPS for our boat. We placed a few of our own caches in Shawano County near our cottage and I just finished placing one at the disc golf course in Kaukauna. I had to fill out a DNR form and fax it to Shawano Park and Rec. I talked with them over the phone and it seemed simple.
I talked to the Park and Rec Director in Kaukauna and they do not have any fee or paperwork required. However, I was made aware this is an up and coming concern being talked about amongst park and rec directors at different locations.
Landreman’s questions and concerns were not so much fees or paperwork, but rather who is going to collect this info and how is it going to be maintained and for what real purpose. I could tell he was concerned, but did not really feel the need yet.Maybe I’m being a smart-butt,…
but couldn’t these individual parks & rec persons just enter their zip at GC once in awhile to make sure everything’s copacetic?GC collects info, cacher maintains.
What!??? These are BUREAUCRATS! Paper, Paper, Paper!!!
