The Ordinance has been amended pursuant to the motions made by the Finance Committee of the Whole at its January 10, 2000 meeting. Amendments to the Ordinance include decreasing the rental fees for the Community Hall and meeting rooms for residents and not for profits, and increasing the fees for the non-residents, school district residents, and corporate residents. With regard to the alcohol policy, it was agreed to allow rental groups to serve beer and wine in the Community Hall with consumption restricted to hours past 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. All other circumstances will require a waiver from City Council. Rental fees for the Community Theater were also discussed. Amendments to the Ordinance include a provision for rental groups under the umbrella organization of the Dublin Arts Council (DAC) to have fees for theater rental waived for the first year. Due to the technical nature of the theater equipment, the Theater Technician may be present during working rehearsals, but the City will absorb the cost to ensure the protection and ' maintenance of its equipment. Rental groups under the umbrella organization of the DAC will be charged a fee for the Theater Technician's time during technical rehearsals, performances requiring assistance and other times when requested by the rental group. A provision was also added to the Ordinance to charge a 12% collection fee when a rental group requests the City to facilitate the sale and collection of its tickets. This fee will be calculated based on total ticket sales with the balance of ticket collections being remitted to the rental group. The collection fee does not cover supplies such as ticket stock or ticketing software, which must be supplied by the rental group. Upon request from the Director of Service, we have added emergency language to the Ordinance. We are requesting the Ordinance be passed as an emergency measure so that public notification can be made prior to the opening of the phase II facilities. Rental groups can then begin scheduling their events. For ease of your review, all additions to the Ordinance have been shaded, and deletions have been stricken. Should you have any questions or concerns about the Ordinance, please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Finance. Page 1 02/02/00 P:\PER\MMK\STUDY99\RECR\memo.phII(A).doc
