The South Huron R Centre board management has decided • "re -think" its 1982 hall ren pricing- policy. Dennis Overholt, Zurich, and Victor Hartman of RR 1, Hay, raised con- cerns dbaut the new- price policy " at the board's January meeting, Thursday. Straying from their agenda, the board met immediately with the delegation. Overholt said hisson had booked the rec centre hall for an April 24 wedding reception. He said he was concerned about the rec centre's new rental prices which include an increase to the base rental, added corkage and plate charges and changed the , time period to cancel from three months to six' months. The men said they knew the rates could be increased without notice, but Overhol added he was concerned about the added charges of plate and corkage fees. He . noted the change in with- drawal times did not let the men withdraw from the contract without loss of their • deposit. Board member Gary Birmingham said because the hall is large, it attracts large groups, which take considerable revenue from events hetd there. • He said he had heard of wedding receptions profiting as much as $2,500 to $3,000. He said the board felt large groups making money on events could afford to pay the higher rates. Bill Mickle noted the contract stated "rates subject to change" but said that he felt the corkage and plate charges were new policy by the board. He said that Overholt recognized the rates would change, but had signed the contract in good faith and it should be honored. Mickle suggested a starting date for the new price policy be set and a phase-in period be added. Birmingham agreed to the compromise, but wondered aloud if lost revenue would be made up by local governments. He saidthe facilities committee, which had calculated the new rates, felt pressured by local" politicians to make the centre pay. As an aside, Birmingham asked if ice rental contracts would be honored. He asked how ice time could be rescheduled if those booking the ice had signed contracts. Chairman John Pym said rescheduling "ice time was done to accommodate people. Hartman said he felt the. board had no legal rights to add costs other than an in- creased rental rate. It. was moved that the contract be honored, with the increase in rates, but not the "new policy" of plate and corkage fees. The board split on the motion. John Pym told the delegation - that the board would be discussing the topic further and said the men would, be notified Friday of the decision. The board then met with a second delegation con- cerning a trophy case for the foyer, before returning to its agenda. Carolyn Merner moved the minutes of the December meeting, with the exception of the motion establishing the new rates. Birmingham said if the rates were not acceptable the board should change them properly. He said the motion concerning the minutes was out of order as a motion cannot be rescinded without a two-thirds majority. He said there were a lot of ramifications if the board ec starts changing set policies. of LynneFarquhar said with to the new RelkY the board tai may make money on two bookings but may cause of another 15 to cancel. The motion to accept the • minutes, without the motion to establish the new rates was passed. The board continued with other business. Just after midnight the board returned to the issue of hall rates. Two motions to adjourn were left unseconded. Eric Finkbeiner moved that any group booking the hall with six months or more notice of the new rates be allowed to withdraw from their contracts without penalty and be charged under the new policy. Any groups with bookings with less than six months notice be charged the increases outlined in the new policy, but not the plate and corkage t fees. •Finkbeiner said he felt this would give groups a fair notice of the new policy. Pym said he thought there could be a similar problem in July, and wondered why the rates would be fair for part of the year only. Birmingham pointed out the groups with current booking had paid only a $50 deposit and asked if they should be charged. the new rate of $75 for the deposit. . He re-emphasized that large groups could' often exceed the capacity of the hall (517 people) and made a good profit for the organizers. Al Epp said he felt the rates could be increased but that new policy should not be added to existing contracts. Finkbeiner's motion was defeated. In its place Bill Mickle moved that the board honor all signed contracts with a 15 percent in- flationary increase, and note that new contracts will be signed under a new policy yet to be set. He suggested an increase would be better public relations than a double fee of the increase and corkage charges. This motion was passed. The board held a special meeting after their annual dinner meeting 'Monday. Rec Director Lynne Farquhar said Tuesday that the board decided to charge existing contracts and new bookings for 1982 a rate based on the 1981 prices with a 15 percent inflationary increase. She said the board plans to set 1983 prices by March to have them published in time to give fair notice of the new -rates. She added that 1983 prices will be based on a new policy yet to be discussed. The corkage fees and plate charges will be dropped, and groups will be allowed to run their own bar.
