5.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION: Future Tours and Park Awareness
The CSAC commissioners will be meeting with Kevin Snipes and Rachael Goodwin at
Desert Vista Park on June 20th at 4:30 pm to tour the mini-pitch and new amenities
added to the park. There was a discussion on future tours and after reviewing their
schedules, it was determined the next tour would be at the Community Center on
September 12, 2022, at 4:30 pm.
6.UPDATE: Use Waivers
It was reported to the commissioners that the Town Council had approved the user
agreements for FHCCA and the Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Ayres provided an
overview of what was included:
It waives the use fees for the identified partner programs, which include Dark
Skies Fest, Leadership Academy, Bingo, Munch and Music, Encore Presentations,
and Time 4 U technology service.
It grants FHCCA 50 hours of classroom use annually. These hours can be
distributed and used by any group within the FHCCA organization. The
anticipation is that the FHCCA will divvy them up internally into whatever groups
they fit. Once those 50 hours have been expended, the reduced fee rates would
be in effect for any additional hours. Standard non-profit classroom rates are
$25/hr. Therefore, the local non-profit rate is $12.50/hr.
The waiver also includes the use of the Grand Ballroom (4 individual ballrooms) for
the FHCCA for 2 full weekends annually (Fri-Sun). Like the classrooms, the
FHCCA can use the weekends as they see fit and allocate them to whatever
group they choose within their organization. Any additional ballroom use would be
charged at the reduced fee rate for local nonprofits. . (Standard non-profit ballroom
rates are $50/hr on weekdays and $75/hr on weekends. Therefore, the local
non-profit rate is $25/37.50 respectively)
It is assumed that the two weekends will be allocated to the choir and or band,
however that is at the discretion of the FHCCA board.
The discussion was focused on the choir and band as they are the largest users of
the community center in terms of the number of rooms and hours.
In light of this, the council deferred the fees for Choir and Band ballroom use for
one year to allow them time to assess the new agreement and develop a plan of
approach. The 2-weekend portion of the agreement will be suspended and take
effect July 1, 2023. The rest of the terms and conditions will take effect as of July
1, 2022.
