ATTACffi�IENTS: Two attachments AP VFD Y. ,
A draft of fees and fee policies has been recammended b� the Community '
Center Commission for the rental of the Banquet Room located in the ,
Community Center. This report includes a ma.rketing study of area banquet ,
facilities. '
The Community Center Commission based the formulation of banquet fee
policies under the �ollowing criteria: ,
1. Customer service and convenience shall be a priority concern.
, 2 . The Banquet Room shall be priced at or just above the market ,
rate. '
3 . Serve the best interests of the Rosemount resident. ;
4 . All user groups shall be charged a fee for use of the Banquet
Room.
The Community Center Commission proposes banquet policies to truly serve ,
the customer. Namely, the customer shall have the opportunity to cantract ,
the caterer of their choice_ The customer will also conveniently choose
the appraved and properly licensed liquor provider and swing their best '
deal . The Banquet Room will be scheduled to give the customer ample time
in set-up and minimal anticipations with cleanup. Since our banquet raom
is one af the best in our area, both in facility and service, the custamer
wou3d expect to pay above the market rate.
Classif ication af users has been identified and priority of scheduling �
assigned to each. The resident of Rosemount has clear advantage in regard
to fee and riorit of schedulin .
