Councilmember Leonard questioned about there not being any custodial care and if that could be considered for an extra fee. Ms. Epting responded yes, they could develop a prepping fee. Councilmember Leonard thinks that adding a fee for mucking the area would be reasonable. Councilmember Earp mentioned that staff may want to speak with residents who frequently use the arena to see if they would be in favor of a fee for non-residential rentals. Parks and Recreation Director Epting responded yes and will provide feedback to Council. Mayor Rigby questioned if the agreement between the City of La Porte and the La Porte Livestock Show and Rodeo Association has a clause in it stating that the Association does the bookings for the arena. Parks and Recreation Director Roz Epting responded that the Association has a certain number of days for bookings, and the remaining days go through the Parks and Recreation Department. Mayor Rigby asked if Council wanted to act on this item or postpone to another meeting date pending feedback from staff. Page 2 of 4 June 22, 2015, Council Meeting Minutes
