This article shall be known and may be cited
as the "Town of Mansfield Fee Waivers Ordinance."
It is the Town's intention to encourage participation in municipal
programs and to provide services to all residents of the Town regardless
of their financial status.
The information on the application may be verified
by Town officials at any time during the year. If it is determined
that an applicant has provided false and/or misleading information
and/or has purposely withheld information from his/her application,
the applicant will be denied participation in the program for that
fiscal year.
Waivers need to be reinstituted on a yearly basis unless circumstances warrant a more frequent review. Any changes in family size or household income must be reported immediately to the Town agency responsible for administering the Fee Waiver Ordinance. Changes in participant eligibility factors as set forth in §
122-5 can affect eligibility for the fee waiver program, such as having eligibility status terminated until later application is approved.
