(A) The Town Council authorizes its attorney to draft a contract compliant with this section and for the use of the town hall for private business meetings, public meetings, public hearings, adult service, or civic organization functions, individual business meetings for entities from within the town, and similar activities and that said contract should protect the town hall and indemnify the town from any damages related to said meetings.
(B) Said meetings shall generally be limited to the size capacity of the town hall, shall be in compliance with all laws, shall forbid the inappropriate preparation or service of food or the serving of any alcoholic beverages, shall not generally require a fee for the use of the town hall by persons or entities within the town that operate as non-profit entities or persons, other than the collecting of a $25 damage deposit which may be waived for non-profit entities, may require insurance indemnification on behalf of the town, and shall otherwise protect the standing of the town and town hall and may charge a fee for any entities or persons from outside the town.
(C) The Town Council and its employees or agents shall generally follow the principals of this section, but the Town Council may choose to deviate from this section and said contract requirements in appropriate circumstances by a simple majority vote of Council present; and, it shall be the policy of Town Council to sponsor or encourage public interest events at the town hall so long as all meetings shall be planned far enough in advance to allow a review of the scheduling of said meeting at a regular Council meeting; and, all meetings of entities from without the town shall be subject approval and to an appropriate fee as set out by a vote of Council.
