7.0 BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Discussion; Enclosure

7.1 Discussion on Use of Facilities Fees.

The Board will enter into a discussion regarding Use of Facilities Fees. This is a continuation of a discussion initiated at the July 27, 2000 meeting. At the July 27^th meeting, the results of a survey conducted by staff revealed that our district charged substantially less for the use of district facilities than the nine surrounding districts surveyed. The Board then asked staff to produce a pay schedule that would (1) cover district costs to rent facilities and (2) serve as a transition schedule until a review and revision of existing policy could be completed. The requested information was presented to the Board at the August 10 meeting (see enclosure). The Board then requested that frequent users of facilities be notified of the pending consideration by the Board. Notification has taken place and frequent users have been invited to share their views with the Board. Staff is continuing the process to develop an appropriate Board Policy revision.
