Council discusses reducing rental fee for The Church @ Lake Palestine
Summary
Council members discussed a request from The Church @ Lake Palestine to lower its monthly rental from $600 to $400 and debated whether that amount would cover cleaning and operating expenses; no final reduction is recorded in the minutes.
Councilmembers reviewed a request from The Church @ Lake Palestine to reduce its monthly rental payment and the number of hours of use. Council members said the church asked to reduce the rent from $600 to $400. "Are they asking to reduce to $400.00 instead of $600.00?" City staff asked, and the council discussed whether $400 would cover cleaning costs and recurring center expenses.
Members said the church had been assigned storage space and would move its items into the closet, and one councilmember recommended providing a cleaning checklist. Councilmember Kevin Haughey asked for the community center’s monthly expense figures to determine whether the reduced rent would cover costs; the minutes do not record a final decision to change the contract.
