1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy is to provide a guideline and procedure for the use
of fire station meeting rooms by external groups and/or persons.

2. POLICY

The District wishes to make the meeting/class room available to nonprofit
organizations and groups in and from the community. In some instances, this
may include supporting the delivery of community-based services. Further,
the intent is to provide this service in a way that has minimal negative impact
on District operations, is convenient for and fair to user groups, and preserves
the integrity of the facility and its furnishings

3. PROCEDURE

3.1. Available Rooms

The meeting/class rooms are available in its entirety for large groups (up to
Maximum occupancy load).
The hours of availability are typically 9 AM to 10 PM; use
beyond theses hours may be allowed on a case by case basis. Tables
and chairs are provided in the rooms.

3.2. Intended Use

3.2.1. The general intent is to provide an occasional meeting place for
community groups such as homeowner associations, service clubs,
youth athletic groups, and the like. Acceptable uses will fit with and
not disrupt the routine activities of an active fire station.
No fund-raising events where admission is charged shall be conducted. Classes
requiring a tuition or fee may be offered by approved groups on a
case by case basis.

3.3. User Groups

User groups must be nonprofit groups that specifically involve and/or
directly serve the citizens of the Fire District. The District reserves the
right to determine whether a group qualifies. Fire District facilities will not be used for any political rallies, fund-raisers, seminars or meetings. Facilities may not be used for any purpose that conflicts with the policies, procedures, guides, general orders or other rules and regulations of the District.

3.4. General Guidelines for Use of the Meeting/Class Room

3.4.1. Reservations - Reserving meeting/class rooms is done
through the District web page (www.mvfire.org). A request must be completed, submitted and approved before a reservation is effective.
A reservation can be made no more than 60 days in advance.
Groups wishing to use the room on an ongoing basis (such as for a
Monthly home owners meeting) may request dates up to six months in advance
but will be considered tentative until inside the 60 day window. To
promote the accessibility of the room to a wide variety of
community organizations, the District may limit the number of
meetings of any particular organization. Routine Fire District
activities will have priority. Emergency needs of the Fire District will have priority in all cases and reserved rooms may be canceled without prior notice.

3.4.2. Service Reservations – agencies and/or organizations providing
district approved service deliveries (e.g.: city and county) may
request dates for a calendar year block to better allow for public
notification of scheduling. Despite the length of the reservation, a
Room Use Request must be completed, submitted, and approved before the reservation is considered valid.
As in the case of group reservations, any emergency needs of the
Fire District will have priority.

3.4.3. General Use Procedures
Upon concluding use of the room, the building must be locked
and secured. Users are responsible for maintaining the room in a neat and
orderly condition. After use, basic cleaning shall be done as
needed (supplies and equipment provided). Furniture shall be

turned off, and each of the outside doors locked if required.

Children must be adequately supervised.
Items may not be hung from the walls or ceilings except where

appropriate for individual service uses based on specific
circumstances, needs, and uses and/or to recover direct or indirect costs that
may be associated with any part of district properties, equipment, personnel or other costs to the district.
