(A) (1) An access user may schedule the city production facility and equipment for the production for access programming. No person will be permitted to operate the public access equipment without first completing an application and any required parental/guardian/adult supervisor consent form. Limits are placed on the total number of hours each facility may be used per month to encourage use by as many individuals and organizations as possible. These hourly restrictions are as follows:
Production Facility | Hours Per Session | Hours Per Month |
Studio (Council chambers/community room) | 4 | 16 |
Portable equipment | 24 | 96 |
(2) The production facility and equipment may not be reserved for consecutive sessions.
(B) An access user must submit an equipment request form to reserve videotaping equipment.
(C) Users who fail to use reserved equipment without 24-hour notice of cancellation may be prohibited from use of that equipment for 30 days. Users 30 minutes late for use of equipment without notification relinquish their reservation and are also prohibited from use of that equipment for a period of 30 days.
(D) Users must sign an equipment request form agreeing to be financially responsible for damage or loss of equipment. Lost or damaged equipment will be repaired or replaced by the city and users must reimburse the city for all repair and replacement costs within 7 business days of demand for payment. Failure to comply within this time period will result in suspension from use of all equipment until payment is received for the costs of repair and replacement of equipment or facilities. The user will not be responsible for normal wear and tear of equipment.
