Sec. 2.(1) The board of commissioners may adopt rules and regulations for the use and maintenance of the place of recreation, including the hours during which the place of recreation shall be open to the public, and may make leases for the purposes of erecting cottages and other necessary buildings under such rules and regulations as it considers expedient. Under any such lease no spiritous or malt liquors shall be sold on the premises.
(2) A person who violates the rules and regulations of the board of commissioners is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(3) A rule or regulation that regulates a recreational trailway is not effective unless it is posted and maintained near each gate or principal entrance to the trailway.
(4) The operation of a vehicle on a recreational trailway at a time, in a place, or in a manner prohibited by a rule or regulation is a municipal civil infraction, whether or not so designated by the rule or regulation. A civil fine ordered for a municipal civil infraction described in this subsection shall not exceed the maximum amount of a fine provided by the rule or regulation or $500.00, whichever is less. An act or omission described in this subsection is not a municipal civil infraction if that act or omission constitutes a violation or crime that is excluded from the definition of municipal civil infraction in section 113 of the revised judicature act of 1961, Act No. 236 of the Public Acts of 1961, being section 600.113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
(5) A charge for admission to the place of recreation may be made by the board of commissioners, but the charge shall not exceed the charge for admission to state parks of this state. Funds received from such admissions shall be used for the improvement of the places of recreation.
