Council considers adding cleaning fee and raising Civic Center rental rates; formal ordinance steps outlined
Summary
Council discussed a proposal to increase Civic Center rental rates and add a cleaning fee for upstairs/downstairs use; the item would require ordinance form, two meetings and a public hearing before adoption.
A council liaison told members that Civic Center rental rates, particularly bridal rates, have not been increased in a long time and are "really pretty low," and proposed adding a cleaning fee because staff currently handle post-event cleaning.
"Bridal rates for the Civic Center have not been increased in a long time… we're wanting to add that cleaning fee," the liaison said. Councilors discussed that fee structure could differ for upstairs versus downstairs rentals and noted the change would require ordinance revisions and a public hearing; one councilor said the process would likely take two meetings, with a public hearing in October if the item returns in ordinance form.
No vote was taken; councilors asked staff to prepare ordinance language and schedule the item for formal consideration later in the calendar.
