Worried about certain details, the members of the Oldman Alliance board postponed their decision and decided to increase the rent of the city hall.

Mayor Rod Tapay said he is concerned about limiting rent to two days instead of the current three days.

He said at the park, building, development and public service committee meeting on Monday, December 21: "If the wedding reception reaches 11 o'clock, you will have an hour to get everything out of the auditorium." "Sometimes an hour is not enough to get their things out."

Thape said that usually, people who have held large-scale events such as weddings in the auditorium will decorate on Friday, hold the event on Saturday, and then take everything home on Sunday.

The park’s new plan will allow people at large events to pay an additional $350 cleaning fee if they don’t have time to clear everything.

Oldman Bob Schmuck said that he has been to event facilities in the area, which really requires people to go out before midnight.

He said: "Some places I have been to, if they say midnight, then you'd better go out before midnight." "They achieved this goal. I have seen it."

Polman agreed, saying that the current three-day use of the auditorium was "unprecedented."

He said: "This is not something that anyone else can do normally."

Pohlmann said limiting the rent to two days may also allow more people to use the facilities.

He said: "In our current system, only one person can use these facilities during a weekend."

Although the board members generally agreed to increase the rent, they did ask for comparison with other halls in the area. Polman has included this information in discussions with the City Park Advisory Committee, which had previously recommended additional fees, but did not include these comparisons in the people’s information package.

The committee voted on the increase until more information was obtained.

According to the proposal, the main stadium with a capacity of 400 people is held in the city hall, and can be rented by Union residents for as low as $25 per hour (minimum two hours), with a maximum lease period of two days and a maximum of $600. Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

If a potential tenant wants to like the gym from 10 am to midnight of the day, the fee for the Union residents is $400.

For non-residents, the cost jumped to $40 per hour, $550 for one day or $750 for two days. All gym rentals require a $500 deposit.

If the tenant needs items such as tables and chairs or volleyball or kimchi nets, the lease agreement will charge extra.

The gym now charges $400 for residents for two days and $500 for non-residents. Now, gym rental requires a deposit of $150. During the week, its hourly rent is $75 per hour.

Perlman provided the Park Advisory Committee with comparable prices for other facilities in the area, saying that the Moose Lodge in Washington charged $350 for members, $450 for non-members, and $900 for Best Western weddings.

The auditorium in Washington City also offers different packages for the gymnasium, which cost $500 a week, $600 on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, and $800 for two days.

The downstairs of the Union Auditorium building used to be the City Hall, and the meeting room for the former board of directors will be rented out for $10 an hour. The meeting room costs $15 an hour, while the training room is equipped with a refrigerator and microwave, and the rent is $20 an hour.

All downstairs rooms need to be booked for at least two hours and a deposit of USD 500 is required.

The conference room downstairs is currently rented at USD 75 per day, plus a deposit of USD 100.

These changes will expand the availability of meeting rooms from the current availability to between 8 am and 10 pm 7 days a week, while the park department is only open from Monday to Friday.

Pohlmann said the rent needs to be increased because it makes the city spend an average of $480 in employee salaries and other expenses to rent out the auditorium.
