HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT/COmITY DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT: HOH'FHLY MEETI'HGB RBQUEHTED AT OIT¥ FAOIL3;T,FEB BY T~ RECOMMENDATION Pleasure of the Council. FISCAL IMPACT TEAM (Tustin Effec~ive Apartment Managers) has requested luncheon' meetings which require setting up tables and chairs for 50 people for a 2 and 1/2 hour event. Rental fees offset custodial and other personnel expenses at conunity facilities for qualified local nonprofit organizations. The City has reduced rental fees for~local nonprofit organizations. If TEAM was a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, fees for this meeting would be $47 per hour or $117.50 per event or $1,410 per year. Insurance is required for all City rentals. Often organizations provide a certificate naming the City as additionally insured. For building users who are unable to supply such_ documentation, the City has an agreement with an insurance broker which-can provide appropriate coverage. The expense for this certificate is $85/event for an activity such as TEAM has proposed. BACKGROUND ANDDISCUSSION At the January 6, 1994 meeting, the City Council considered a request from TEAM for subsidized use of a City building for their monthly organizational meeting. These meetings would be scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month at noon. At that meeting the City Council tabled discussion on the issue. Since then, the City Council has agendized this request for the June 6, 1994 meeting. Should the City Council choose to grant TEAM's request for building use, the Clifton C. Miller Community Center would serve as an appropriate location for the meeting. This location would not affect any Community Services Department programming. No programs are scheduled during the time TEAM has requested. However, the TEAM request does reduce flexibility should the Community Services Department wish to add activities. City staff is currently evaluating alternative methods for handling set ups, take downs and other support functions at the Community.. Center. One issue that might have to be considered in the future is what level of support the City can provide to TEAM if it uses the Community Center (custodial services, set ups, arrangements etc. ) Staff believes that TEAM meetings are important to the City's crime prevention activities in the southwestern neighborhoods. The City' Council could waive rental fees or, the Council may want to consider using asset forfeiture funds to offset City costs incurred to host the meetings. Rec] =~non Supervisor Susan M.
