The Clifton Advisory Board of Recreation may
designate facilities, programs and services as being free to the public.
The Board may, after consultation with the Director of Welfare, admit
a person to a facility free of charge where the Board has determined
that the individual would otherwise be prohibited from admission or
participation due to the cost of such activity.
The Clifton Advisory Board of Recreation may
cancel a program, within its judgment, due to insufficient participant
registration or other factors which may adversely affect the health,
safety and welfare of program participants.
