FACILITY USE POLICY WAIVER FOR RENTAL ON MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY WEEKEND 2025
summary
Summary:
Staff received a request for use of the Signal Point Terrace on Saturday, January 18, 2025 during the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend. In the most recent version of the Community Services Facility Permit Policy from 2021, reservations are not permitted on holidays or holiday weekends.
The request is for a private rental and would generate revenue for the City, as fees would not be waived.
Strategic Plan Goal(s):
Goal No. 5 High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services.
