Program
Cancellations, Refunds
Refunds will be given only through the second meeting of any program
unless the Park District cancels the program or the participant
experiences a medical problem which prohibits program participation.
When a medical problem exists, the refund will be a prorated amount
based on the number of sessions remaining in the program less the
service charge. There will be a $5 service charge for refunds issued
due to participant cancellation (per participant/per occurrence)
unless stated otherwise in program description. In cases where the
minimum number of registrants is not received for a program, the
Park District may have to cancel the program. In cases of program
cancellations, full refunds will be issued to all registrants.
Weather
Cancellations
Programs may be cancelled due to inclement weather or unusable facilities.
A decision regarding cancellation will be made two hours prior to
the scheduled starting time for high school/adult programs and one
hour prior to the start of youth programs. If deteriorating conditions

Line (398-2589) as soon as possible. A Champaign Park District representative
will remain on-site until the next scheduled event to inform participants
of the cancellation.

rates. Fees charged for programs are used to offset part of the
costs for special instructors, facility costs, and program supplies.
Individual non-resident players participating in team athletic programs
that involve a team registration fee will be
charged a $15 per player non-resident fee.
Fees:
Non-Resident Option
Program participants living outside the boundaries of the Champaign
and Urbana Park Districts have
an option of paying 50% more than the resident fee for each program or
paying a yearly fee and the resident fee for each program.
The yearly fee is computed on the assessed valuation of the non-resident's
home. The yearly fee is this valuation multiplied by the current
tax rate of the Champaign Park District. The term of the payment
coverage is from May 1 to April 30 of the following year. A person
wishing to pay the yearly fee should bring a copy of the most recent
tax bill to the Bresnan Meeting Center for computation of the fee.
To receive the same privilege, non-resident renters may pay a flat
fee of $50. The non-resident annual fee option is not available
to persons residing adjacent to the Park District boundaries.They,
however, have the option of annexing their property to the Champaign
Park District. If you have any questions, please contact us at 398-2550. |
