We appreciate the reservation rules to ensure fair access for residents. With that in mind, I respectfully request the following: Lower Reservation Fee: The current fee is too high for many residents. Please consider lowering the fee for residents and charging a higher fee or restrictions for non-residents to prioritize residents use. Youth Access to Cricket: PASO & PSBA has been great for Youth Soccer & Youth Baseball in Prosper. A similar opportunity for youth cricket would be fantastic for youth participation. Thank you for your attention to this matter and your continued work to improve our community. 4.
