Press Release: Notice of Proposed Changes to Facility Rental Policies

Press Release: Notice of Proposed Changes to Facility Rental Policies
 
The City of Norris is currently reviewing its rental and use policies for public facilities. At present, the city offers rental opportunities for the Lions Pavilion and the Norris Community Building. However, due to rising maintenance costs and concerns over the condition of facilities when returned, we are considering updates to the city’s facility rental policies.
 
The key proposed changes include:

• Fees Structure: Adjustments to rental fees to better reflect the costs of facility upkeep.
• Restricting Use of the Board Room: Limiting the use of the Board Room in the Community Building to official city business.
• Renter Cleanup Responsibilities: Creation of a checklist that all renters must complete when finished with the facility.
• Renter Setup and Post Use Responsibilities: Outlined renter obligations for setting up and leaving the facilities in good condition.

Thank you for your input!
