## Resource

Yelm City just tweaked its public records and park fees—waiving charges for requests under $2 while introducing new costs for copies, digital records, and community events in the parks. The goal? Balance transparency with sustainability, especially as event sizes strain facilities. Mayor Joe DePinto clarified the move isn’t about restricting access, but ensuring accountability for large requests—and covering rising maintenance costs.
