Council considers changing pavilion rental rules and adding weekend cleaning
Summary
After repeated complaints about dirty restrooms after weekend events, the board discussed making renters responsible for cleaning, outsourcing a Saturday-morning check, and adjusting fees to cover cleaning costs; they agreed to increase monitoring and to test a Friday-afternoon check routine.
Members said renters sometimes arrive to dirty restrooms and that current Friday checks are insufficient to prevent weekend messes. Board members discussed requiring payment at time of reservation, raising the fee to discourage last-minute cancellations, and refund policies tied to condition checks. One speaker proposed raising the rental fee from $20 to $75 to reduce misuse and cover cleaning costs.
The board did not finalize a fee increase at this meeting but asked staff to test a revised maintenance routine (Friday checks and occasional Monday/Wednesday inspections during peak season) and to evaluate outsourcing a Saturday clean at added cost. Staff also suggested renters could be credited back if no issues are reported and that video cameras would help identify misuse when feasible.
