Mgr. Issue Summary. The Community Center rental policy states that community groups renting the building for private functions and charging an admission fee pay the regular rental fees. In previous years the Center usage fees for the Saratoga Music Boosters have been waived by the City Council. When the Music Boosters made their reservations it was assumed the fees.would again be waived. The - admission fee charged by the group for the Art Auction is not enough to cover the rental fees. This event.is open to the public. Since it is a policy matter to waive fees, it cannot.be done by staff. It is a City Council decision. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council make a decision on whether to waive rental fees for the Saratoga Music Boosters Fiscal Impacts The Community Center will have a loss of revenue in the amount of $214. pay the Building Supervision fees of $42.50. - Exhibits /Attaches nis Saratoga Music Booster's letter.
