Mounds View City Council September 10, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 14 • Council Member Marty questioned why the City would need to pay to use the facility if it is not booked. Council Member Thomas indicated that the contract specifies that the City is allowed 10 free days and that is all the City gets. Council Member Stigney said he felt that, if the City had enough days left to cover its planned events, he saw no reason why the school district could not use the banquet center. Council Member Stigney suggested approving option 4 which allows for free use of the facility and a charge for staff time. Council Member Thomas questioned whether they would need to use the machines. Assistant to the Administrator Reed indicated that they do not use the machines but do use the voting booths. It was the consent of Council to allow the school district to use the banquet center free of charge but require that the school district pay for any charges incurred while doing so. It was the consent of council to allow the public works department to use the banquet center free of charge for Larry Decheine's retirement party. It was the consent of Council to allow the golf course manager to use the banquet center free of charge for its annual golf course banquet. C.
