Council approves one‑time rental of Tate Street Recreation Hall pending legal and insurance clearance; adopts Agner Hall rules
Summary
The council voted to allow a rental of Tate Street Recreation Hall on Sept. 6 if the city attorney and insurance confirm the rental form and coverage; the rental will mirror Agner Hall’s terms and fees, and keys will be handled through the clerk/treasurer’s office.
The Lawrenceburg City Council on Sept. 2 agreed to permit a proposed rental of Tate Street Recreation Hall on Sept. 6, contingent on city legal review and confirmation of appropriate insurance coverage. Councilmembers directed staff to mirror the rental form and fees used for Agner Hall and to require keys to be issued through the clerk/treasurer’s office.
Why it matters: The decision restores a previously available community rental facility and establishes security, insurance and fee requirements for off‑season rentals.
What council approved: Council discussed a draft rental form Mark Devitt prepared that mirrors Agner Hall’s rental agreement. Councilmember Tommy Roulette and others said they wanted legal counsel to review the form and for city insurance to confirm coverage. The council set fees to mirror Agner Hall (total package and a $500 refundable deposit) and stipulated that if alcohol is present a police officer must be on site. The motion recorded that the rental may proceed for Sept. 6 provided attorney review and insurance sign‑off and that the clerk/treasurer’s office supply the key and documentation.
Context and operational details: Council members noted the hall has been rented previously (including during pool season) but that a formal document was not readily available. City staff agreed to have city attorney review the form "tomorrow," to confirm insurance with the city’s risk contacts, and to forward the final agreement copy to council once completed. The rental will be processed through the clerk/treasurer’s office.
Ending: The council approved the conditional rental by voice vote; staff will complete legal and insurance reviews and circulate the finalized rental agreement to council.
