§ 3.68.050. Method of payment of fees.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Except as otherwise provided by this code, all fees and deposits established by the Parks and Recreation Commission for entry or use of County park and recreation areas or for designated privileges, services or materials, shall be paid to the Director or his or her designee in the manner determined by the Director. All fees collected shall be deposited in the Treasury of the County of San Mateo and shall be credited to the appropriate fund.

    (b)

    The Director may, subject to approval by the Parks and Recreation Commission, designate any recreation area or county park a "self-registration fee payment area." Payment of applicable fees for entry or use of a self-registration fee payment area shall be by deposit into a fee collection vault located at the entrance to such park or recreation area. The Director may establish, subject to approval by the Parks and Recreation Commission, policies and procedures for collection of such fees including the hours and dates of collection. Pursuant to guidelines approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Director may waive payment and suspend collection of applicable fees at any self-registration fee payment area.

    (c)

    All fee deposit envelopes, permits and receipts shall remain the property of the County of San Mateo and shall be subject to inspection by, and surrendered upon demand to, the Director, or any County Park Ranger or law enforcement officer. Fees deposited in any fee collection vault, including any overpayment, are non-refundable. If the fee deposited is insufficient to pay in full the applicable fee, the remaining balance shall be due and payable to the Director or County Park Ranger upon demand.
