billing the club or organization ….

billing the club or organization for any setup or teardown that exceeds 30 minutes of a custodian’s time.

We are well aware that we are the only community of our type that does not charge for reservations (except for outside organizations) and those that do, charge separately for setups.

The Recreation Committee will consider whether it is fair for the whole community to bear the cost of excessive setups or if the organization booking the space should be responsible.

Currently, there are groups requiring up to three hours setup plus teardown. This is particularly a problem when another large group, with a different layout, is scheduled right after, as more time is needed between reservations to accommodate both groups and may reduce the amount of time we can allow them to use the space.

Then, too, with the increased demand comes the necessity for buying more equipment to satisfy the clubs’ requirements.

We welcome the thoughtful, respectful opinions of our residents. LWers are invited to attend the next Recreation Committee meeting, either in person or via live stream, at 1 p.m. in Conference Room B on the first Monday of the month to share your thoughts or just to keep in the “know” of what’s up with Recreation.
