Rental Policy, Wabana Town Hall
The Wabana Town Hall is equipped and maintained to provide a meeting or gathering place to conduct the business of the Township, store records, and serve the community by providing resident access to the facilities for their use. Other persons or groups may also use the facility as the schedule allows. It is understood that residents may plan a community activity that may involve participants paying for a service provided by an outside vendor (an example might be having lunch catered or asking someone to come teach a skill to a group of primarily residents). Because the Wabana Town Hall is a public facility, it is not intended to be the main place of business for either residents or non-residents. Supervisors will review requests for use of the town hall that are for profit to make a determination if the proposed activity provides a service to the community. The Wabana Board of Supervisors has the right to authorize and/or limit the uses and types of activities to take place in the facility, and set rental rates as desired.
The Board of Supervisors reserves the right to change, amend, make exceptions to, revise, or discontinue any policy, practice, rule or regulation set forth herein at any time at its sole and absolute discretion.
In the event of an emergency, crises, or other unexpected business, the Town Board reserves the right to cancel or change the scheduling of any activities as necessary.
All users must contact the Wabana Township Clerk and be provided with the proper information and rental documents pertaining to using the hall.
The Wabana Town Clerk has full authority to make decisions concerning the activities listed in this policy and will serve as a liaison to the Town Board in the event of a conflict, discrepancy, or special request of the facility.
Signing a rental agreement is required by the person to be held responsible for the use of the facility. Upon signing the rental agreement, he/she acknowledges and accepts responsibility of the rules and the rental fees explained in the rental agreement form.
