Council discusses inconsistent Old Town Hall rental pricing and PSB discount
Summary
Council members reported inconsistent rental pricing for Old Town Hall (residents vs. people from South Flat), noted the PSB payment relationship to a rental discount, and asked staff to standardize rental rates to avoid perceived unfairness.
Speaker 1 brought up a complaint that a renter was quoted one price but then charged a higher rate after giving a name associated with South Flat. Speaker 2 explained that the rental discount (a $25 reduction mentioned in the transcript) is tied to a PSB payment on utility bills and that the written policy on discounts may need review.
Speakers discussed a solution of setting one unified rate for Old Town Hall and related facilities to prevent perceived favoritism and inconsistent pricing. Several members said standardizing the rate might simplify administration and reduce confusion at booking. The council did not adopt a new fee at this meeting; Speaker 4 suggested staff formally review and, if appropriate, recommend a single rate at a future meeting.
Quote from the meeting: “When they called back and gave the name of somebody that lived on South Platte, they were given a higher price” (Speaker 1). The council asked staff to look up the existing policy and consider a uniform pricing structure.
