BRIAN MacLEOD Herald Staff Retail and special sales will be allowed in Halloo Hills arenas at rental fees which make sure that all operating and administrative costs are covered The owns general committee decided Monday to allow he sales after a sometimes fiery debate on issue But the town put some restrictions on the sales Retail sales will be allowed only by local businesses paying business taxes Any individuals who want to hold a sale or local people or businesses must apply for a special sales permit which must first be ap proved by council The move was taken in response to complaints by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce last summer that sales In the Memorial Arena hurt local businesses and that local businesses were actually subsidizing the sales through their business taxes But Recreation Director Tom Shepard said Monday that the rental rates charged make sure that all costs to the town are covered and In fact there is a small profit to the CPP Liquidators held a sale in the arena on May and The business is local and does pay business taxes said Mr Some councillors thought they had put a hold on ail such sales at the arena last summer until Mr Shepard prepared his report but the recreation director said according to all local bylaws there was nothing to prevent this or any other local businessman from holding this type of sale Given that the facilities are for slon community use and that local businesses are part of ihe it would seem reasonable to rent the facilities to them at a rate that covers ail operating and associated administrative costs said Mr Shepard Any money made the town on the sales helps keep rental rates lowerforiccinthewinter be said But Ihe sales potentially hurt sales In the own a other businesses said Mr Shepard Other municipalities allow the sales said Mr Shepard The Memorial Arena Is rented more often because it has a shorter Ice season than Gordon Arena said Mr Shepard Currently renters pay an hour for he Memorial and Acton arenas with a twohour minimum and an eight hour maximum If a liquor license is included those rates are an hour more On Monday council added two other rate categories Local retail businesses can rent the Memorial arena and Acton arena for an hour with a five- hour minimum Gordon Arena is more an hour But local businesses or sales by individuals held under a special sales permit will cost SO an hour at Memorial and Acton arenas and IS more at with a fivehour minimum charge for the sales Mayor Miller wanted to defer the issue until next week so he could meet with the Chamber and Business Improvement Area representatives and get view on the recommendations Coun John McDonald agreed that getting Input from the Chamber Is important before making the dec But Sheldon argued against Ihe deferral saying the Mayor can meet with the Chamber without council instruction Coun Gerald wanted town staff to find out what commercial space rents for at a price per square foot Charging that price would be fair he said But town Treasurer Ray King said the circumstances for renting the arenas differ from commercial ren tal spaces for businesses Its very hard to find that magic figure you re looking for be said Mayor Miller pressed for input from the Chamber before the town came to a decision At least I think they deserve the right to voice their concerns he said Coun Betty Fisher urged chamber representatives to appear before council next week when the decision must be endorsed to voice their concerns The taxpayers think Its great going up there and getting their shoes for cheap prices r said Fisher Coun Sheldon was also in favor of holding the sales If we don allow them we re away choice from he con she said And not all businesses are against the sales she said Some businesses believe in free enterprise Chamber President Murray likes the compromise tion The Chamber doesn want to stop all sales It just wants to make sure such sales aren subsidized by tax payers
