assessement fee

Here in Omaha, Nebraska, the Midwest Officials Association charges $35 for annual dues. That goes to the assignor and the board, etc., for operating expenses. That's just for basketball. Football was $25 last fall (since it was the association's first fall doing football, after about 10 years of doing just basketball). We are not charged a per game fee or anything like that. I don't know the specifics of the association's contract with the Metro Conference (the big school conference here in the Omaha area), so don't know if there's any monetary exchange there.
