Fairfield County clarifies Levacy Center rental rates to recoup staffing overtime
Summary
Deputy County Administrator Jeff Porter told commissioners the Levacy Center reservation rates apply to non‑county agencies and are intended to cover overtime costs for Facilities and IT staff who support outside events.
Deputy County Administrator Jeff Porter explained the Levacy Center reservation pricing and emphasized the rates apply to non‑county agencies to recoup overtime expenses for Facilities and IT staff who assist with events.
Commissioner Steve Davis opened the Feb. 24 roundtable and Porter outlined that the county charges external groups to cover the additional staffing costs associated with running events at the Levacy Center rather than using general funds. The policy is framed as a cost‑recovery measure for overtime incurred when Facilities and IT provide event support.
Porter also announced the annual Leadership Conference will be held at the Levacy Center on April 7, 2026, and encouraged departments to coordinate scheduling. Commissioner David Levacy urged attendees to consider initiatives the county might propose for America 250 during planning discussions.
The meeting record shows no immediate change to rental policy; Porter framed the pricing as administrative practice to offset overtime rather than a new fee schedule. The commissioners adjourned at 2:45 p.m.; the board approved the roundtable minutes at a subsequent date.
