of the Revised General Ordinances]
The Township desires to establish procedures
for the use of public meeting rooms and other recreational facilities
in order to provide for the appropriate use of such facilities; to
ensure that the citizens of the Township are not unfairly assessed
the costs pertaining to extraordinary requests for the use of such
Township facilities; to establish reasonable charges to reimburse
the Township for expenses incurred in connection with the use of such
facilities; and to ensure that such facilities are available for Township
sponsored recreation activities, meetings of Township boards and committees
and other groups and organizations.
The Township Administrator is hereby authorized
to establish and promulgate rules and regulations governing the use
of municipal meeting rooms and other facilities, such rules to be
subject to review and approval by the Township Committee. Such rules
and regulations may establish reasonable and appropriate fees for
the use of various municipal facilities, which fees shall be designed
to reimburse the Township for costs for security, cleanup and other
expenses resulting from the use of the facilities.
