3) Regular Agenda Items
a) Fiscal Year 2022 Update:
Staff provided information and a presentation on the Center’s performance
for FY22.
b) Venue Comparison discussion:
Staff opened discussion of Venue Comparison by requesting feedback on
items of note or offerings that could be considered for the Colleyville Center.
Discussion ensued over the following topics: rental fees, parking, catering/bar
service, food trucks, cleaning service, and chair/linen offerings. Paul Vigiletti
noted Center rates lower than other venues in immediate area. Fred Mills
suggested the need to cover rising costs of supplies and labor.
Staff discussed issues with full allowance of alcohol (beer/wine/liquor) in the
venue and questioned consideration of restriction to beer/wine only. Alex
Thomas, Jeremy Tallo, and Darla Dennison voiced concern over losing
potential bookings due to alcohol policy change and committee agreed that
alcohol policy should remain the same.
Discussion ensued over increase in rental rate with Fred Mills stating that an
increase would allow the Center to cover the anticipated increase in operating
costs yet remain competitive with other venues in the area. Discussion
ensued regarding a decrease in deposit. Consensus was that a decrease in
deposit would no longer deter clients from violating Policies and committee
agreed that deposit should remain the same.
Paul Vigiletti made a motion to increase the Saturday standard 10-hour rental
from $3000 to $4000 and increase the Friday/Sunday standard 10-hour
rental from $2500 to $3000. Fred Mills seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
