Washington Administrative Code › Title 132I - Highline College › Chapter 132I-140 - Use of facilities › Section 132I-140-120 - Basis of fee assessment

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The
			 basis for establishing and charging use fees reflects the college's assessment
			 of the present market, the cost of operations, and the degree to which the
			 proposed event advances the college's educational mission. Groups or
			 organizations affiliated with the college should be permitted access to
			 facilities at the lowest charge on the fee schedule which may include
			 complimentary use. A current fee schedule is available at the conference
			 services office.
(2) The college
			 does not wish to compete with any private enterprise. Therefore individuals or
			 groups not affiliated with the college shall be charged for facility use
			 according to the fee schedule established by the board of trustees; provided
			 that the president or his or her designee may grant a reduced rate when the
			 presence of such individual or group advances the college's educational
			 mission.
(3) Any individual or
			 group desiring to rent college facilities shall sign a rental agreement. In the
			 case of a group, an authorized representative of the group shall sign the
			 rental agreement. By a group signing the agreement, the signatory specifies he
			 or she has authority to enter into agreement on behalf of the group and if the
			 group fails to pay the amount due, the signatory becomes responsible for all
			 charges arising from the rental agreement. Any such charges may include an
			 interest payment for overdue accounts as specified on the rental agreement but
			 not less than one percent per month.
(4) The college reserves the right to require
			 an advance deposit up to one hundred percent of the rental fee.
(5) The college reserves the right to make
			 pricing changes without prior written notice.
(6) The primary purpose of college facilities
			 is to serve the instructional programs of the college including, but not
			 limited to, college events and activities. The board of trustees reserves the
			 right to cancel any permit and refund any payments for use of college
			 facilities and equipment if the group's use of college facilities and/or
			 equipment would violate any federal, state, local law, or college law,
			 regulation, or rule or when the planned use could subject the college to any
			 unreasonable risk of liability.
(7)
			 In the event of a cancellation of a facility use permit by the applicant, that
			 group is liable for all college costs and expenses in preparing the college
			 facility for its use.
(8) All
			 admission charges must be approved by the college prior to issuance of a
			 facility use permit.
(9)
			 Individuals or groups using the college's facilities shall conduct all
			 activities in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws
			 including the rules and regulations adopted by the college in Title 132I WAC
			 and as specified in the rental agreement. The college assumes no responsibility
			 for consequences of any act or omission of any third party. The individual or
			 group is responsible for damages incurred by third parties (including invitees,
			 licensees, guests, employees, and members of the group) during their possession
			 of the premises. The college assumes no liability for damage or loss of
			 personal property or equipment left in any rental space during or after the
			 event. The individual or group assumes full responsibility for the conduct of
			 its invitees, licensees, guests, patrons, members, employees, or third parties
			 hired to provide services for the individual or group.
