Councilmember Blanchard was very concerned about the community room rental, Blanchard stated that $125 was outrageously high to pay for rental of the community room for a shower or party when the residents are paying for this building with their tax dollars. Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, explained that $125 charge is broken down in two segments; the $100 cash deposit, and the actual $25.00 rental charge. Orduno further stated that if the community room and building are left in good order, the $100 is refunded. In other words, the check for the deposit is never cashed but returned to the rental party. Mary Saarion, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Director, stated that the department had been utilizing this system for the rental of Silver View Park Shelter and Lakeside Park Building and found that it works very well. The rental party writes two checks, one for the deposit and one for the rental. After the premises is inspected and found to be in good order, the deposit check is returned to the individual. Saarion stated that in the past the City had suffered some damages from those who had rented the building and that the $100 damage deposit is a fair amount to cover damaged items. Saarion also stated that Mounds View's charge for rental is very low in c mparison to other rooms or buildings being rented. Saarion further lained that not only Mounds View residents rent this community room but 0 others from surrounding communities. The Department makes every attempt to give the residents- priority.
