User hires
For a number of years the Town has rented space to two non - profit organizations that have used the
Neighborhood Center on a recurring weekly basis. Since these uses are ongoing, the two non - profit
groups are eligible for a discounted rate; however, the current discount formula is rather cumbersome
and difficult to administer. Staff recommends that a simple percentage discount be applied to the
regular room fee. This will simplify the record keeping and accounting for both the Town and the
two non- profit groups. The percentage discount method will generate approximately $500 less in
annual revenue. Recommended discounted fees per room, based on the relative amount of use by
each group, are as follows:
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) - 15% Discount
Alcoholics Anonymous (SPAR) - 15% Discount

Payments for these uses will be billed by the month and due by the 15th of the month

As is the case now, no discount would apply on the charges for an attendant when such is
required for the use of the Center.
