Security Deposits
Use of the Civic Center is free of charge. However, the City may require a refundable security deposit as provided in this policy and the City’s adopted fee schedule. The City will administer all security-deposit requirements, waivers, refunds, charges, and related reservation decisions using objective, reasonable, and viewpoint-neutral criteria. A deposit requirement, waiver, or charge will not be based on an Applicant’s viewpoint or the viewpoint expressed through a permitted use of the Community Rooms.
Multiple-event users must provide the refundable security deposit established in the fee schedule during their first 12 months of use. After 12 months of use in good standing, a security deposit will not be required for subsequent reservations, unless the user falls out of good standing, in which case the City may reinstate the deposit requirement. However, any individual or group with an existing recurring series of reservations in the 2026 calendar year is not required to provide a security deposit, so long as they remain in good standing under this policy.
Single-event users must provide the refundable security deposit established in the fee schedule for each reservation.
The City will refund a security deposit after the applicable reservation, or after the applicable 12-month deposit period, if the user has no unpaid charges for damage, cleaning beyond normal wear and tear, lost or unreturned security-access cards, or other documented violations of this policy. If the deposit does not cover the amount owed, the user remains responsible for the outstanding balance.
The City Manager, City Clerk, or designee may waive the security deposit requirement.
An Applicant must cancel a reservation at least fourteen (14) days before the scheduled reservation date to receive a refund of the applicable security deposit. A reservation cancelled fewer than fourteen (14) days before the scheduled date will forfeit the security deposit.
