Zettek Village President TERMS AND CONDITIONS REGARDING THE USE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE MEETING ROOMS The terms and conditions set forth below govern the use of all Village of Elk Grove meeting rooms. The Village of Elk Grove welcomes the use of its meeting rooms for socially useful and cultural activities and discussion of current public questions. Such meeting places will be available on equal terms to all groups in the community. Elk Grove Village meeting rooms are available (1) for public activities and functions and (2) for civic, cultural and public information or events of Elk Grove Village groups. Commercial, social, or politically partisan meetings do not fall within these categories. Elk Grove groups are defined as organizations which are chartered in Elk Grove Village or whose membership is comprised primarily of Elk Grove Village residents. All meetings must be open to the public. The use of Village meeting rooms for Village -sponsored programs shall have priority over all other requests. Reservations are made when rooms are available. Applications for room use should be made to the Village Manager's Office as much in advance as possible, but no less than four weeks. Reservations cannot be accepted for more than three months in advance. Application for use of the facilities does not guarantee approval of their use. The agent signing the application must be responsible to the Village for facilities. In case of cancellations by a group, the agent will be responsible for notifying the Village Manager's Office at least one week before the date scheduled. Organizations that indicate they have members who require handicapped accessible facilities will be scheduled a meeting room in the Municipal Complex. If necessary, organizations scheduled for a meeting room in the Municipal Complex will be relocated in order to accommodate organizations requiring handicapped accessible space. However, if a group has a meeting room scheduled two weeks prior to their meeting date, the Village will not change the location of the meeting room to accommodate an organization requiring handicapped accessible space. This policy does not prevent a previously scheduled group from voluntarily changing its meeting room location to accommodate organizations requiring handicapped accessible space. Meetings which would interfere with the functions of the Village and its patrons because of noise or other factors will not be permitted. Classes involving the use of hazardous materials such as paints and chemicals are not permitted. Neither the name, address, nor telephone number of Elk Grove Village may be used as the address or headquarters for any group using the Village for meeting purposes. Groups using the Village meeting rooms shall not post signs. No charge is made for use of the Village's facilities and no admission fee may be charged or donations collected for programs. The scheduling of a meeting for any group or organization in the Village Hall or any municipal building does not constitute, in any way, an endorsement by the Village of the organization or its activities. The meeting rooms are available Monday through Friday, generally from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Audiences have access to the entrance, public telephones and toilets, but are not allowed into general or private office areas. The entrance to the Village municipal building will be locked at 11 p.m. SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED IN ANY OF THE MEETING ROOMS AT ANY TIME. There are three meeting rooms available in the. Municipal Building for outside groups. They are located on the lower level of the new Village Hall. Each room (A, B, and C) has a capacity of approximately 20 persons. The rooms are separated by moveable _ partitions. We also have meeting rooms (each with a capacity of 40 persons) at our Meacham Road Fire Station and at our Greenleaf Avenue Fire Station. (For availability of Fire Station meeting rooms, please call 734-8000, ext. 8015.) The Village cannot provide porter service to carry supplies to the meeting rooms, and custodial help is not available for other than normal maintenance of the rooms. The Village does not have personnel to assist with meetings or programs, to run projectors and to help arrange exhibits. The Village will not provide storage for property of organizations meeting or exhibiting in the Village meeting rooms and assumes no responsibility for property before or after the exhibit or program. Groups or organizations requiring equipment such as projectors, record players, equipment for food and beverages for their programs must provide them.
