secure a facility rental, 10% of the rental fee, in addition to the security deposit, must be submitted.
The City of Sherwood will charge against this deposit if the facility use time exceeds the contracted
rental period, if the facility is not adequately cleaned by the end of the rental period, or if damages
occur during the rental period. The renter will be responsible for all additional charges that exceed
the deposit amount. For rentals under $200 in total fees, the security deposit will be $50. For rentals
under $50 in total fees, full payment must be submitted to secure the facility rental.

Page 4 of 4
increments. Additional charges will be deducted from renter’s deposit or, if additional charges
exceed deposited amount, the renter will be charged.

Basic cleaning after an event is the responsibility of the renter and must be done during the
contracted rental period. A comprehensive cleaning checklist will be provided to the renter to
ensure no areas are overlooked. If the facility requires additional janitorial service after the rental,
including but not limited to returning furniture to its place, vacuuming, mopping, or garbage
removal, renter agrees to pay the cost of the additional services.
