Title
FACILITY RENTAL FEES FOR MARY ANN YOUNG CENTER
Background
At a recent workshop meeting the City Council discussed rental fees for the public rooms at the new Mary Ann Young Center and City Hall. The consensus was that the City should charge room rental fees at the Mary Ann Young Center but not for City Hall. During discussion of the Facility Fund Budget, Council asked for an update on the fees proposed at the Mary Ann Young Center.
Below is a list of the proposed fees:
Oak and Maple Rooms A and B (smaller rooms, seating for 35-40)
$50 per ½ day and $100 for full day -resident
$60 per ½ day and $110 for full day - non-resident
Maple Rooms A and B combined
$100 per ½ day and $200 for full day - resident
$200 per ½ day and $225 for full day - non-resident
Tom Ryan Rooms A and B (larger rooms, seating for 100)
$125 per ½ day and $250 for full day - resident
$140 per ½ day and $280 for full day - non-resident
Tom Ryan Rooms combined - (full dining area, seating 250+)
$250 per ½ day and $500 for full day - resident
$280 per ½ day and $560 for full day - non-resident
Kitchen Use
$150 for residents
$200 for non-residents
These fees are intended to offset wear and tear and building expenses at the Mary Ann Young Center and can be used to offset staffing costs if it is decided that staff/ security needs to be present in the future.
Recommendation
Provide feedback on room rental fees. If comfortable with fees, they will be incorporated into the Fee Resolution at the second reading at the December 16 Council Meeting. They are not included in the first reading of the Fee Resolution, which will be held December 2, the same evening as this discussion.
If further discussion is needed prior to approval, staff will create a separate item for the room rental fees. These fees are planned to be implemented in April of 2020.
