Registration Fee PolicyVILLAGE RESIDENTFor registration purposes a resident is anyone who lives within the corporate boundaries of the Village of Germantown and pays property taxes to the Village of Germantown and the Germantown School District.SCHOOL DISTRICT RESIDENTFor registration purposes, a School District Resident is anyone who resides within and pays taxes to the Germantown School District but does not pay Germantown Village property taxes. School District Residents will not be assessed a non-resident surcharge when registering for any program or league that utilizes Germantown School District facilities. If however, a School District Resident registers for a program or league that utilizes a village facility a non-resident surcharge will be assessed.NON-RESIDENTFor registration purposes, a non-resident is anyone who does not reside within the corporate boundaries of the Village of Germantown and does not pay property taxes to the Village of Germantown or the Germantown School District. In the case of non-resident participation, non-resident users contribute an additional fee or surcharge to offset their non-tax status for programs.FEESIt is the policy of the Germantown Park & Recreation Department that program participants help defray the overall cost of the activity, (i.e. equipment, facilities, staffing, etc.) through the assessment of fees and charges. However, the department does not wish to exclude Village of Germantown children who are unable to pay these fees due to hardships that may occur. Parents who feel they are unable to afford the fees for a program should contact the Park & Recreation Director prior to registration.FACILITY FUND FEEBeginning in the summer 2010 the Park and Recreation Department began collecting a nominal facility fee. These fees will be put into a non-lapsing (no expiration) and non-reverting (does not go into the general fund) “Facility Fund” dedicated to maintaining and improving village and school district facilities used in the delivery of recreational programs.REFUND POLICYRefund of fees in recreation activities shall be made under the following conditions:

• The Park & Recreation Department cancels the program: Persons registered for a program which is canceled by the department (i.e. lack of enrollment) shall receive a full refund of fees or a credit for a future program, whichever the registrant prefers.

• Participants Cancellation: Cancellations can be made up to 3 working days prior to the start of a program unless otherwise indicated. You must call the office, email is not accepted. Participants will receive a refund less a $5.00 service charge for each transaction or a fee credit to a future program, whichever the registrant prefers. If an injury occurs after the start of the program but before it is 50% completed, a pro-rated credit will be given upon receipt of doctor’s excuse.

• NO refunds or credits will be issued once a class has started.• There is no pro-rating of class fees.• Refund policy for Youth Sports Leagues: Refunds or credits

will not be issued once coaches have had their informational meeting.

• Refund policy for Field Trips, Craft Classes & Kids Klub: Refunds will not be issued for these programs as the department is responsible for full payment of enrollment totals. See page 5 for Kids Klub policy.

• Credits on account will automatically be refunded if not used within 24 months.

WAITING LISTIf your desired class is filled, you will be notified and placed on a waiting list. The department will make every effort to accommodate those on the waiting list, (adding classes, etc.).

Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities. The department continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions. If you find a real or potential safety hazard in one of our parks or facilities, please call 250-4710.INSURANCE COVERAGEPlease recognize that the Germantown Park & Recreation Department does not carry medical or hospital insurance for injuries or illness participants may sustain in programs. Prior to registering you should review your health insurance policy for coverage. Absence of personal health insurance coverage does not make the Park & Recreation Department responsible for payment of a participant’s medical coverage. All persons participating in department sponsored activities must provide their own insurance and assume risk of all injuries. The department will not be liable for personal liabilities or accidents.NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATIONIt is the policy of the Germantown Park & Recreation Department that no person shall, on the basis of sex, race, national origin, ancestry, creed, marital or parental status, age or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity, including employment.NO SMOKING / ALCOHOL USE POLICYA reminder to program participants: The use of all tobacco products or drinking of alcoholic beverages on premises owned by the Germantown School District is prohibited by state law. Your cooperation in upholding this law is necessary.
