Council considers short-term office rentals, electronic locks and small fees for town hall space
Summary
A resident asked to rent a quiet room in town hall two days a week; councilors discussed access, heating, restroom access and suggested options: a per-day rental or modest monthly fee and installing an electronic lock/code to manage access and cleaning.
A resident requested occasional daytime use of a quiet room in the town hall for remote work. Alicia described the request and asked the council whether the town would permit occasional rentals for a small fee. Councilors said the town could pilot the program with controlled access (electronic lock with time-limited codes), basic housekeeping rules, and a modest charge.
Council members proposed a rental-rate range and access controls: $40 per day or a flat monthly fee (one suggestion was $500/month for regular two-days-per-week use) and installing an electronic keypad or programmable code to let the renter in only at set times. The council discussed heating (space heater initially) and restroom access and asked staff to finalize terms and return with a short contract template.
