Saratoga Springs considers renting out more facilities for public use November 16, 2017, 8:29 amCurrently, only park pavilions and the North Fire Station training room can be used for public events. However, Assistant City Manager Owen Jackson reported that staff have seen an increase in rental requests for other city amenities, such as the basketball courts at Neptune Park and the train at Shay Park. While there are community benefits that can come from these events, Jackson noted that there is increased liability for the city as well. City Council members discussed how best to proceed. Many expressed their opinions on various aspects of this potential policy change. Some shared concerns about over scheduling and increased noise for local residents. Despite these misgivings, an overall tone of support pervaded for expanding rental opportunities for additional public and private use. No changes were made to the existing policy at this time. City Manager Mark Christensen and his staff plan to create a policy to be reviewed at a future City Council meeting.
