Administrative Services Director Lasher explained that it varies but overall it is a loss. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell stated that if the goal was for generating profit she would recommend to <br />undercut the price from the closest city and if the goal is to serve the people and provide them <br />space for meetings then she would recommend to keep the prices affordable for residents and raise <br />the rates for people outside the community. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma recommended making sure that the costs are being covered at the very least. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher added that the City used to charge for IT and now this <br />charge is built in which definitely results in an overall loss. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht stated he is torn because he wants to respect Staff’s time and not create <br />additional work but during the day he would love to see the building be utilized. He asked if the <br />rooms are pretty well rented out. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood said that this building is rented out <br />sporadically. He added that whoever is accepting reservations often blocks out more time to allow <br />time for cleaning. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht stated he likes the higher rate for weekends and after hours and asked if <br />there was a way during the week that the rates could be lower to make it more open to the public. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if the only way to reserve a room was to call the front desk. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood said yes. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher stated that City Staff uses these rooms more than the <br />public do and it is important for Staff to be able to move things around which is why it is not on <br />Civic Rec. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if there was a way that this could be booked through Outlook. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher stated she could follow up with IT on that request. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff explained that this could help save Staff time on the front end if it is <br />more self-service oriented. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher apologized for misspeaking and said that the rooms can <br />be booked through Outlook. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if Outlook could be linked to Civic Rec. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher stated she will find out. She asked if general public fees <br />should be lowered to line up with the average of other cities. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / November 22, 2022 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br /> <br />
