Since adopted in 2013, there have been three kitchen rental agreements approved with local residents. Issue: Ann Rinkenberger, representing Gammelgarden Museum, has requested to enter into an agreement for renting the Community Center kitchen for cooking classes hosted by the Museum. Ms. Rinkenberger has completed the attached rental agreement. Proposal Details: The Gammelgarden Museum proposes to hold cooking classes on June 10 and November 11, 2023 for 8-10 adults. The recipes will be of Swedish fare and approximately 4-5 hours in duration, including preparation and clean-up time. The Museum will provide a Certified Food Protection Manager to oversee the classes, and a Museum volunteer will teach the cooking techniques. Upon the City’s approval, a security deposit of $50 would be collected and held for the duration of the agreement. The agreement requires kitchen time be reserved and payment received in advance of the renter’s use of the kitchen. A Certificate of Insurance naming the City as an additional insured will be collected from the renter prior to commencing any activities under the agreement. Fiscal Impact: The cost per hour for kitchen use for a resident is $12. The agreement is ongoing until terminated. Options: 1) Approve the Community Center Kitchen Rental Agreement with the Gammelgarden Museum conditioned on providing a Certificate of Insurance naming the City as an additional insured. 2) Amend and then approve the Community Center Kitchen Rental Agreement with Gammelgarden Museum conditioned on providing a Certificate of Insurance naming the City as an additional insured. 3) Do not approve the Community Center Kitchen Rental Agreement.
