One has been partially resolved with last month's Council action of <br />restricting rental hours and adjusting rental fees. However, there has been a pattern of <br />inadequate cleaning of the hall after use. This appears to be a problem associated almost <br />exclusively with rentals by non- residents versus Little Canada residents. <br />The other problem has been brought to our attention by the renters themselves. Renters <br />are having an increasingly difficult time obtaining Host Liquor Liability Insurance <br />coverage required for rentals where alcohol is served. The League of Minnesota Cities <br />Insurance Trust is looking into offering this coverage so that renters could purchase it <br />directly from LMCIT. This may eventually be the answer to the insurance coverage <br />issue, however, it appears it will be some time before that coverage may be available. In <br />the meantime, Pete Tritz from the :LNICIT has suggested that a short -term solution would <br />be to lower our required insurance limits (see attached email from Pete). <br />Based on the above, staff is recommending the following changes to the Old Fire Hall <br />Rental Policy: <br />2. <br />Establish a non- resident rental -fee as follows: <br />Number of Hours Mon. that Thurs. <br />Up to 4 hours <br />Over 4 hours <br />$100 <br />$175 <br />Fri., Sat., Sun <br />and Holidays <br />$100 <br />$200 <br />This is an increase of $25 for rentals up to 4 hours, and $50 for rentals <br />over 4 hours. <br />Reduce the coverage limit for Host Liquor Liability Insurance to $250,000 <br />from the current $300,000 /$750,000 requirement. <br />
