<br /> I am requestimg that the charges for commercial ventures b~ increased from $200
<br />to $350. Also, that the fee be increased from $1~0 to $200 for non-profit organ~za~i~n?~when
<br />admission fees are charged.
<br /> It is'felt that ,it is nece~pary to increase these fees due to the~wear and tear
<br />which the armory'is receiving. Also, the majority offthese e~ents are being held on weekends. This
<br />necessitates the City paying overtime for the cleaning of the armory, as it is also necessary for
<br />the National Guard to use the armory on %.~ekends.
<br /> We have investigated the charges~on similar facilities in the area and find that
<br />the above charges are not out of ~iqe."
