OLD FIRE HALL USE POLICY <br />The following guidelines are intended to govern the use of the Old Fire Hall by <br />non -City entities. It is to be understood that City functions will have first <br />priority for use of the facilities in question. Regularly scheduled, non -City <br />uses would have the second priority. All other uses would be on a first -come, <br />first - served basis, subject to staff determination. <br />* The areas of the building to which access would be granted are <br />limited to the lower level, including kitchen and restroom <br />facilities. Access to other areas of the Building is to be allowed <br />only with specific permission by City staff. <br />* Access to the Old Fire Hall is limited to adult - based, non - profit <br />groups with a civic purpose and community benefit. Access is not <br />allowed to groups created for private benefit or gain, or groups <br />which are merely "social" in nature. Examples of approved groups <br />would be as follows: <br />Canadian Days Committee; <br />Little Canada Fire Department; <br />Little Canada Historical Society; <br />Little Canada Recreation Association; <br />Other Groups of which the City is a member and /or <br />may be hosting a meeting. <br />Any group not included in the list as being "approved" for Old Fire <br />Hall use would have to make a written application to City staff. <br />This application must document the group's purpose, background, key <br />officials, and intended functions to be conducted in the building. <br />Staff will review the submittals and decide whether the group meets <br />the parameters established. If the request is denied, the group <br />would have the option of appealing staff's decision to the City <br />Council. <br />* Access to and use of the Old Fire Hall is not allowed for private <br />individuals. <br />The use of the Old Fire Hall for fund - raising activities is not <br />allowed, except by City- approved groups. <br />* For any meeting that is open to the general public, City staff must <br />be present to open, supervise, and secure the building. A charge for <br />this service will be imposed. <br />State and County regulations must be complied with in <br />regard to food and liquor sales. <br />Issuance of keys and /or security codes is at the sole discretion of <br />the City Administrator. <br />The privilege of using the facilities in question can be revoked at <br />any time due to misuse of the building or other issues of concern as <br />determined by the City. <br />Page 52 <br />
