Commissioners said that if an <br />applicant is truly a non-profit group and can show proof they are a 501(c)3 group then they did <br />not object to waiving the application fee. Mr. Wahl asked if there is a limit to the number of <br />spots available and Mr. Kepperley said there are 50 spots but it can be expanded.
