Create rental policy for Council Chamber use by outside groups
In Plain English
The city currently has no formal rules about who can rent the Council Chamber or how much to charge. This policy would establish guidelines for outside groups wanting to use the space for meetings or events. The rules would cover rental fees, scheduling requirements, and what activities are allowed in the chamber.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved new rules for renting out the Council Chamber to outside groups. Previously, the city had no formal policy governing who could use the space, how much to charge, or what activities would be allowed. The new policy will establish rental fees, scheduling requirements, and guidelines for what types of meetings or events can take place in the chamber. This is a routine administrative matter that fills a policy gap rather than changing how the city operates day-to-day.
