The Milford School Committee voted 6-1 Wednesday to set an hourly rate of $25 for Milford's youth sports groups to use the new athletics field. The rate will last for two years.
Milford youth sports associations will pay $25 an hour to use the new athletics field at Milford High School, the School Committee agreed Wednesday, shelving a proposal to charge three times as much. The rate, for Milford organizations only, will continue for two years, giving school and youth association representatives more time to review information and set a rate that will provide some funds for maintenance. The School Committee adopted the fee in a 6-1 vote. Patrick Holland voted against, saying he thought a better solution was a year of no-fees for the field. School Committee members said they sympathized with the youth sports associations that were taken aback by the proposed $75 an hour fee, and wanted to make sure children had …

The Milford School Committee has scheduled a special meeting Wednesday to discuss and vote on a proposed fee schedule for the new field at Milford High School.

The Milford School Committee is considering a new fee that youth sports groups would pay to use the new football field at Milford High School, an amount that a lacrosse organization says is "a money grab."
A proposal to charge community athletics groups as much as $75 an hour to use the new football field at Milford High School has angered parents, who say it will prevent their children from using the new field. The School Committee is considering an update of a facilities use policy that would charge groups, including youth lacrosse and soccer, three times as much as they had anticipated spending on field costs. The committee has not yet approved the fee schedule, but the idea is to cover the maintenance and replacement costs of the synthetic field, said member Mike Walsh. Initially discussed on March 15, the policy will come back for further discussion on April 5. "We haven't even had a formal reading of the policy yet," Walsh said. Walsh …
