After Hours Use of City Hall Mayor Putaansuu said Councilmember Chang opened City Hall as a warming shelter over the weekend during the snow storm. The City's insurance company was notified, and they voiced liability concerns. Their recommendation to the City is to develop policies and procedures if they wish to continue this practice. City staff should also receive training and pay for this specific use of the facility. Our current code and Resolution do not address this. Additionally, the after hour fees for facility use should be adjusted. Currently, the staff after hours charge is $35 per hour, and it really should be about $100. The City Clerk recommends $75. Councilmember Chang explained why he opened City Hall as a warming shelter. He asked Council to consider adding use of hallways into the Facility Use Resolution to be used as a warming shelter. Council and Mayor continued the conversation of facility use and fees and agreed to revise the staff after hours charge to $100 per hour and bring forward for approval in the next month. 9.
