A. Scheduling: Proper scheduling is essential to maintain order and control and to avoid conflicting use. The first priority for all facilities and buildings and rooms is for use by the County and its departments and officials for the conduct of County business. At times when the facilities are not needed for County business, facilities can be scheduled by calling the County Clerk. All scheduling requests shall be submitted on a County building use application form as far in advance as possible. Schedules cannot be confirmed in any event more than one hundred eighty (180) days in advance and on facilities or rooms that may be needed for County business, scheduling cannot be confirmed until it is determined that it will not conflict with a use required by the County or any of its departments.
B. Department Use: The individual departments of the County are provided office and support space for their departmental use. In addition, other facilities are available to County officials and departments on a scheduled basis for County functions and business. When meeting rooms, conference rooms, and other facilities are not being used to accommodate County needs, they may be made available to other users and the public. All users are expected to treat the facilities properly. Each County employee is expected through their department to watch for inappropriate behavior or use in the buildings and facilities. Problems should be reported immediately to the County Clerk or the Sheriff's Department.
C. Commission Responsibility: The County Commission is ultimately responsible for proper maintenance, care and use of the buildings and facilities and the scheduling and use of those buildings and facilities.
D. Security: The Sheriff's Department is assigned responsibility for security of all County buildings and facilities, unless otherwise specifically designated. (Ord. 07-10, 5-1-2007)
