ARTICLE VI. OPERATING POLICY
Sec. 17-107.
Same—Fees; security deposits.
(a) User fees. The appropriate
governing authority shall establish and maintain a uniform schedule of fees to be charged
persons using public areas or portions of public areas as it deems reasonable in order to
offset the cost of maintaining and providing services to such area.
(b) Maintenance fees. The
appropriate governing official may establish and maintain a uniform schedule of fees to be
charged the public or permittees to cover the cost of such things as electrical service,
equipment rental, special services or items required for scheduled activities, food or
other concession items, supplies, and the like.
(c) Authority to charge admission fees. By
authorization of the appropriate governing authority, permittees may charge admission fees
for admission to the public area or portion of a public area for which they have a permit
to use.
(d) Security deposits. The
appropriate governing official shall establish and maintain a uniform schedule for a
security deposit required for special activities authorized under a permit. The
appropriate governing official may require a bond, refundable cash deposit, or other
appropriate security from persons securing permits, which will be held in escrow until
after said person has vacated the facility, and then be refunded if permit conditions are
met. The security deposit shall be used to cover the cost of damage to facilities, as
determined by the appropriate governing official, and shall not limit the permittee's
liability for damages in excess of the amount of the security deposit. |
