Management and Budget Director Jason Brown recapped his memorandum dated <br />October 7, 2009, reviewing the current equipment and facility rental rates for profit and non- <br />profit organizations. <br />Commissioner Solari commented on For Profit/Private Rates, and competing with the <br />private sector. He suggested using a blanket percentage instead of using a percentage which is <br />less than our actual cost. <br />Discussion ensued pertaining to private entities wanting to use/rent various County <br />equipment and fairground facilities, rental fee rates, the possibility of supporting private <br />enterprise, and getting out of the rental business. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher wanted an accurate assessment of how many times the County <br />equipment was used for County originated functions, how much the County is saving, and how <br />much it has cost, before making a decision to sell the equipment. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan suggested that until staff can return with a cost benefit study, that <br />the Board stick with the current rates as presented, and adopt the policy that disallows reductions <br />or waivers. <br />Commissioner Solari asked the County Administrator to consider using a blanket <br />percentage of 125% to 130% (instead of 110%) of the cost for private sector use. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously <br />approved the current fee structure, which includes a lower <br />fee for non-profit organizations, and adopted a policy that <br />disallows reductions or waivers from the approved rates, <br />23 <br />October 13, 2009 <br />
