Council considers fees and rentals for 76 Seaboard bottom floor; authorizes Red Cross use
Summary
Council members moved to set a $10-per-hour usage fee for the bottom floor of 76 Seaboard Street for qualifying nonprofits, adopt a rental contract for the space and authorize the American Red Cross to use it for blood drives at no cost.
The Hiram City Council addressed three agenda items related to the bottom floor of 76 Seaboard Street: establishing a usage fee, approving a rental contract and authorizing the American Red Cross to use the space at no cost for blood drives.
A motion was made to set the usage fee for the bottom floor at $10 per hour for nonprofit organizations and other approved agencies offering a needed service at no charge to participants, "at the discretion of council," and was seconded.
Council members also moved to adopt a contract to permit rental of the bottom floor and separately to authorize the American Red Cross to use the space for community blood drives at no charge. The transcript records motions, seconds and affirmative voice votes but does not provide a roll-call tally in the excerpt provided.
Council discussion noted the city will retain final authority over approval and that parameters for for-profit usage would be considered in a future policy discussion. The transcript does not include contract details such as duration, insurance or fee exceptions; staff follow-up was indicated.
