is not limited to, providing for the orderly administration of the facility, preventing damage to the City facility
and protecting the City from unnecessary liability or expense in connection with the use of the City facility
by other non-city users. The Auditorium is designed as a business meeting facility and is not designed as

USE AND AVAILABILITY
The Auditorium is used by the City on an ongoing basis. As a result, the City retains the right to use the
Auditorium any time for government and City-sponsored meetings and activities. Because all City-
sponsored meetings and activities take precedence, the City cannot accept ongoing reservations for use
of the facility, which would tend to designate the facility as a regular meeting place for any organization.

the priority listed below:
City Activities: Official meetings for City departments, City Council, Planning Commission, and
appointed Boards and Commissions. No rental fee applies.
