In addition to the direct costs or fair rental value fees assessed per square foot, per facility, groups in every fee category will be charged for custodial services or other personnel support, and a fee may be assessed for any changes or cancellations.
Fees for the use of school facilities and grounds shall be charged in accordance with the following categories, per square foot and type of requested space:
Fee Exempt
No fees will be charged to the City of Murrieta for public meetings or to Employee Associations, Parent Teacher Organizations, Booster Clubs and District/ Community Advisory Councils that are affiliated with and officially recognized by the District, and whose activities are deemed by the District to be beneficial to its pupils or school activities. If these groups plan to use District facilities for fundraising activities that do not benefit District youth or school activities, the District may, in its discretion, charge for the use of its facilities and grounds at the Discount or Direct Costs rate, as applicable.
Discount Rate
The current direct cost to operate the facility, less a standard discount set by administrative regulation, will be charged to groups, organizations, and entities who are the Murrieta Community Service District or who hold a 501(c)(3) non-profit status with the federal government and are using the facility for activities that primarily benefit District pupils or school activities. If the activity is a "class", 80 percent of the enrollment must be District pupils in order for the organization to qualify for the discount fee rate. Whether or not the activity is of primary benefit to District pupils or school activities will be determined in the sole discretion of the District.
Direct Cost Rate
Direct costs are the costs of supplies, utilities, salaries paid to employees administering civic center and necessitated by an organization's use of the facilities, custodial, maintenance and other services required to maintain the facilities, and/or necessitated by the organization's use of the facility. All organizations that do not fall within the Exempt or Discount Rate, or Fair Rental Value Rate will be charged the Direct Cost Rate for use of District property.
Fair Rental Value Rate
Fair Rental Value means the direct costs to the District, plus the amortized costs of the school facilities or grounds used for the duration of the activity. Amortization is based on facility depreciation over 30 years.
In the case of classes, entertainments, meetings or events where the organization charges an admission fee or solicits contributions or donations from attendees and the net receipts are not expended for the welfare of District pupils or for charitable purposes, the fee for facility use will be at the Fair Rental Value Rate.
