USE OF CONVENTION CENTER FOR
CITY OF REDDING EVENTS N/A 2002 12/20/88 1
BACKGROUND
Informal policy existing prior to the adoption of this policy
statement for events held at the Redding Convention Center by the
various City departments or authorized by the City Council as
City of Redding events , such as the Annual Fourth of July Celebra-
tion, have not been charged the normal rental rates nor staff
production costs associated with the event. Given that a substan-
tial operating deficit is experienced on an annual basis , by the
Center , and further given that this informal policy precludes the
hospitality industry in Redding from competing equitably for the
holding of such events , the Tourism and Convention Commission has
recommended that a formal policy be adopted by the Council which
would provide that events and activities sponsored by City of
Redding departments be charged the same rental rate and staff
costs as would any other event booked into the Center by private
parties .
PURPOSE
• It is the purpose of this policy statement that all events con-
ducted in the Redding Convention Center be required to pay a rent-
al rate established and approved by the Council .
POLICY
It is the policy of the Redding City Council that all events
scheduled at the Redding Convention Center be governed by the
fees and charges regularly adopted by the Redding City Council.
No group, agency , organization, including City of Redding depart-
ments , shall be permitted to utilize the Center without charge or
with reduced rental rates , unless those rates are established by
the Redding City Council master fee resolution.
