MINUT~5 <br />CITY COUNC[L <br />MAY 14, 1997 <br />regarding rental of ballf elds f'or tournaments did address alcohol use, <br />however. Residents opposed allowing alcohol as part of tournament <br />usage. Scalze felt thlt many cities stayed away from allowing alcohol <br />usage in conjunction with the rental of community room space given the <br />number of additioi7al issues that Yhis generates. <br />Fahey pointed out that the survey question did not address alcohol usage. <br />Pahey felt it would not be uncommon for adu(ts to want to rent the space <br />fbr a party 1nd want to serve alcohol. <br />Scalze sug~ested perhaps City staff could research what other cities do in <br />this regard. <br />Pederseu suggested that the City try the rental of the lower level of the Old <br />Fire Hall on a trill basis of 6 to 12 months. 'l'his will show if there is a <br />demand. Pedersen stated that he did not want the City to spend a lot of <br />money on equipment, etc. until it is determined the demand is there. <br />The Council discussed the amount of the dama,~e deposit that should be <br />required, and it was there consei~sus diat $100 should be charged. <br />Fahey raised concern about the security of LCRA's equipment, and it was <br />the Council's consensus thaC ~i secured stora~e area sl~ould be provided. <br />LaValle suggested that the capacity of the rental space be (imited to the <br />amount of parlcing tl~at can be supported wittiout making any <br />improvements during the trial period. If d~ere is demand for the rental <br />space, the City could then proceed with parkin~ improvements and <br />equipment purchase. <br />Fa6ey stated that he would support the trial program and suggested it <br />continue through the end of the year. Fahey suggested that staff would <br />need to do 1n inventory of the e~uipment in the lower level of the Old Fire <br />Hall. <br />Scalze reported thaT when she rented communiYy rooin space iu another <br />city, tlie use of a coffee pot, sink and refrigerator was available. The user <br />was required to brin~ in their own paper goods and tiitensils. Scalze felt <br />otiier equipment in the lower level should be secured to minimize potential <br />problems. A large enough damage deposit wilt also he(p to minimize <br />problems. <br />A capacity of 75 people was discussed, and L1ValIe as]<ed if there was <br />enou~l~ parl<ing to support this c~pacity. It was }~ointed out that a <br />conditional use permit can be approved to allow off-site parking. Again <br />
