Council discusses $4 class fee for exercise program at old town hall; vote outcome not recorded
Summary
Council discussed renting the old town hall for an exercise class program and considered a $4 per-class fee/donation model. Historical rental had been $100/month; the transcript records a motion proposing $4 per class and an abstention but does not record a final vote result.
Council members reviewed historical rental terms for the old town hall Dec. 11 and discussed a proposal for community exercise classes there.
Staff recalled a prior renter who paid $100 a month and used the facility multiple days; council members said insurance is required for preschool but likely not for adult exercise classes. Speaker 6 and others discussed typical frequency (two to three times weekly) and heating/utility costs. Speaker 6 asked whether the program would be a business or a community service; members favored a donation or minimal-fee approach.
One council member moved to charge $4 per class; the motion was seconded. A member said they abstained, and the transcript does not record the final tally or formal adoption of a $4 fee. Council members agreed that donations accepted or a nominal fee would be acceptable if the program is community-focused and not a business operation. The council directed follow-up on scheduling, potential instructors, and whether insurance would be required for particular uses of the building.
