Commissioners set $1,500 filming fee for student film at county jail; insurance and cleanup required
Summary
The commission approved a $1,500 fee for a student filmmaker to use the county jail facility, contingent on proof of insurance, provision of restroom trailer or portable restrooms, and contract terms covering cleaning and restoration.
Commissioners reviewed a request by a student to film at the county jail site and discussed safety, sanitation and practical constraints: the facility lacks plumbing and restrooms, and the production will need to provide restroom solutions (a trailer or portable units). The production was described as a student project with a small crew; staff confirmed the proponent has insurance or would be required to provide it.
A commissioner moved that "the fee be $1,500" as the filming-permit charge and instructed staff to draft an agreement that spells out insurance requirements and cleanup expectations. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners indicated the fee could include a cleaning deposit or be accompanied by a requirement that the site be returned "at least as clean as you found it." Staff will request proof of insurance, specify restroom arrangements, and finalize the agreement administratively.
