Community Center Reuse Policy Adopted

The City Council adopted a Community Center Reuse Policy April 22, 2008.  City Council directed staff, at the April 22nd meeting, to revise the Reuse Policy to allow for up to five-year facility agreements for reuse sites not situated on Park property.  Facility agreements for Resuse sites located on Park property will be limited to three years.  The three-year limitation is consistent with Article XVII, Section 1700 of the San Jose City Charter.  The City may renew the intitial terms, at it sole discretion.

In return for providing a minimum level of community services, Service Providers will not pay facility use fees (such as hourly room fees) and shall not be responsible for Community Center Reuse major systems repair, utilities, and routine site building maintenance, except to provide building maintenance or to repair damage that is the result from the Service Provider’s use or events. 

Also, Service Providers shall provide at their own costs, personal property such as furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) necessary to conduct their operations, other than minor FF&E that may happen to be located in the facility, if specifically agreed to by the City and documented in the Agreement between the City and the Service Provider.
