Frequently Asked Questions
For Recreation Rental Facilities

Availability: You can look online at our master calendar to determine if the date you are interested is
available. Recreation Master Calendar

Fees: Three are three fee structures: Residents (within City limits), Non-Resident (outside City limits)
and Non-Profits (requires a 501c3 form).

Deposits: Deposits are only required for full day rentals of our facilities. They can be $50 or $100 and
are refundable if there is no damage or rules violation during your event.

Reservations: The minimum you must pay to hold a date is either the deposit (if applicable) or 50% of
the fees for rental. The balance of the money is due NO LATER THAN 10 days before your
rental. Your event may be cancelled and your deposit forfeited if you do not pay the balance due as
required. Last minute reservations made within 10 days of your event require payment in full of all fees
at the time of reservation - checks will not be accepted within 10 days of the reservation.

Alcohol: Alcohol is available with an approved alcohol beverage permit from the City. Alcohol is only
permitted in our three main rental facilities - The Red Barn, Public Works Assembly and Hix
Gymnasium. If you wish to serve alcohol there is a required additional fee of $50 per hour of your event
to pay for police officers to be present.

Music: Music is permitted but must be kept at a reasonable volume and not disruptive to others. If it is
determined to be too loud or obscene, vulgar or inappropriate, it will be discontinued immediately. It
must also comply with the City's Noise Ordinance and is not allowed after 11:00 p.m.

Decorating: Renters may decorate the facility but may not damage the structure in any way. The
building must be left as you found it and all decorations removed. Failure to do so may result in a
portion of your deposit being kept for additional clean-up.

Garbage: All garbage must be tied in trash bags and placed in the dumpster, if available, or placed in
the designated trash area. Check with staff to determine the correct steps needed for trash disposal.

Cancellations: If an event should cancel at least two weeks prior to the event, the renter will get a full
refund minus a $25.00 administrative fee. If an event cancels at least one week prior, the renter will get
a 75% refund of the fees paid. With the approval of the Department Director, any facility reservation
that cancels can be rescheduled to another date without penalty or loss.

For Profit Events: Any event that will be using a facility and charging fees (ie: tournaments, concerts,
etc.) or selling services or items, will fall under different rental guidelines and prices. You must speak
with the department Director to establish a contract for these types of events.
