Facilities Use Panel
Our insurance will cover participants if your group, like the Knitting Group which meets in our building, has the following criteria:
· is in keeping with our Church mission and vision
· is open to any and all in the congregation
· is sanctioned by the Board to become a part of our monthly offerings in the QC Unitarian (the UUCQC newsletter)
The text of the Building Use Policy is listed below. Please go to the Building Use Forms page in the orange sub-menu (or click this link) to access the contracts for different types of building use.
UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CONGREGATION OF THE QUAD CITIES
BUILDING USE POLICY (October, 2010)
BUILDING USE POLICY (October, 2010)
I. FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDINGS
A. This policy statement will facilitate scheduling events at the church by the office administrator, according to the rules and forms accompanying this document.
B. The purpose of use must be fully disclosed by the user. If the proposed use is found to be unfairly exclusive or at odds with our mission, requests may be denied.
C. Membership is described in the by-laws. Building use requires that an individual be a member for one year prior to their free use or sponsorship use.
II. PRIORITIES, DEFINITIONS OF USE, SCHEDULING
A. All space use will be prioritized based on date of application and availability. ONLY THE OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR WILL ENTER SCHEDULED REQUESTS ON THE CHURCH CALENDAR, thus check first for availability.
B. Church Committees and church sponsored activities have priority. Events supporting the budget of the church take precedent over all other building uses. Requests for meeting space should be made to the Office Administrator by filling out the building request form or by DIRECT phone conversation. It is expected that these groups will leave the premises in as good or better condition than they were found.
C. PERSONAL USE:
#1 Members are entitled to personal use of the Community Room once per calendar year, with rental charges waived.
#2 If members wish to invite the entire church family to a party celebrating an immediate family-related rite of passage, (memorials, anniversaries, child dedications, graduation, adult birthdays, retirement), rental feels are waived. Janitorial fees will be collected. Neither privilege is to be used for fundraising nor for conducting business operations by an outside organization. A building request form, refundable deposit, alcohol policy agreement, (if applicable), key deposit, and janitorial fee must be submitted to the office manager before the event can be scheduled. (see attached agreement page)
D. OUTSIDE REQUESTS FOR USE INCLUDING FUND RAISING The normal rental fees and custodial fees will be assessed. If an outside organization can find a member or church committee to act as sponsor, accepting responsibility for locking and unlocking the building, and making sure the facility is cleaned up and in the condition in which it was found, the fees may then be those charged for a member rental. In all cases, the Building use committee or its subsequent designee must approve the use, based on its own merit. All contracts for group rentals will be reviewed annually, and updated if needed.
E. URGENT USE: In cases of immediate need, such as fire, to support social justice, or for outreach to our community, the Facilities Advisory Panel may allow gratis use of the building.
