Indiana Code Title 36. Local Government § 36-10-3-22

Sec. 22. (a) Park and recreation facilities and programs shall be made available to the public free of charge as far as possible.  However, if it is necessary in order to provide a particular activity, the board may charge a reasonable fee.

(b) The unit's fiscal body may establish by ordinance, upon request of the board:

The unit's fiscal body shall designate the fund or funds into which the unit's fiscal officer (or county treasurer) shall deposit fees from golf courses, swimming pools, skating rinks, or other major facilities requiring major expenditures for management and maintenance.  Money received from fees other than from major facilities or received from the sale of surplus property shall be deposited by the unit's fiscal officer (or county treasurer) either in the special nonreverting operating fund or in the nonreverting capital fund, as directed by the board.  However, if neither fund has been established, money received from fees or from the sale of surplus property shall be deposited in the unit's general fund.  Money from either special fund may be disbursed only on approved claims allowed and signed by the president and secretary of the board.

(c) Money placed in the special nonreverting capital fund may not be withdrawn except for the purposes for which the fund was created, unless the fiscal body repeals the ordinance establishing the fund.  The fiscal body may not repeal the ordinance under suspension of the rules.

(d) Money procured from fees or received from the sale of surplus property under section 12 of this chapter shall be deposited at least once each month with the fiscal officer of the unit.
