Putting on special events will now cost less in Salina after the city commission approved a reduction in permit fees for such events at its meeting Monday. The move, which sees the city’s Special Event Permit fee cut in half, comes after many people in the community were concerned that events, like the annual Salina Toy Run, would not continue because of the increase of fees. City Manager Mike Schrage said the fee process for getting a special event permit is two-fold, with an initial application fee and then a fee for the permit itself. “The permit fee is after the application is approved and is structured to be based on the level of (city) services needed and provided,” Schrage said.
