HomeMy WebLinkAboutApprove Resolution No. 4097, Establishing a fee schedule for Story Mansion grounds reservation fee
Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Ron Dingman, Park and Recreation Director
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Story Mansion grounds reservation fee
MEETING DATE: February 25, 2008
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission approve the fee for reserving
the grounds around the Story Mansion to be $300 per time slot for up to 75 people and $2 per
person over that number. Time slots to be 8 am – 3 pm and 3:30 pm – 10 pm.
BACKGROUND: Reservations for City parks range between $25 and $150 per 7 hour time slot
depending on group size. When reserving a park area or pavilion in a City park, customers share
the remaining park area with the general public. When reserving the Story Mansion grounds
they will occupy the entire ground which reduces the amount of interference from the public into
their event. This combined with the Historic and aesthetic value of the property justifies a higher
reservation fee then charged for other City park reservations.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Reservation fee should cover any costs associated with reservations
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
