Commissioners approve non-refundable deposit policy for fair building rentals
Summary
Following a commissioner proposal, Ellis County agreed to implement a non-refundable deposit requirement for fair building rentals to cover cancellations and reduce revenue risk for the county.
Commissioner Nathan Leiker proposed instituting a non-refundable deposit for fair building rentals during the Jan. 26 work session to ensure the county is protected when events cancel. Chair Neal Younger agreed to adopt the policy approach.
The board gave staff direction to draft the deposit policy for placement on a future agenda. The change is intended to reduce the county’s exposure to last-minute cancellations and improve budget predictability for facility rentals.
