  • No smoking or tobacco use
  • No alcohol unless specifically authorized

All requests are submitted through Facilitron.

Once submitted:

  • The request is reviewed for availability and compliance with District requirements.
  • Additional information may be requested if needed.
  • Approved users receive an agreement for electronic signature.
  • Payment and required documents are completed through Facilitron prior to the event.

To allow time for review and coordination, requests should be submitted as early as possible.

  • Most events: At least 30 days in advance
  • Large events or events requiring additional support: At least 6 weeks in advance

Requests submitted closer to the event date may be considered but cannot be guaranteed.

Limited activities may qualify for a fee waiver based on their relationship to the District's mission and the nature of the proposed use. Fee waiver requests may be applied to the facility fee and/or the direct cost fees and require support from a partnering District department. All requests are evaluated individually.

 

 

If your department would like to sponsor or partner with an outside organization, submit a District Partnership and Fee Waiver Request for review. Partnership and fee waiver requests are evaluated based on the proposed activity, the department's role, and the benefit provided to the District. Partnership status and fee waivers are not automatic and require approval through the review process.
