at Ganaraska. They charge $500.00 to catering companies; require their safe food

company separately. Also require new caterers to come to hall and be given tour and
expectations. Discussion followed and decided that each rental will be given
information sheet of expectations. Caterers as well will be given information sheet day
of. Review of process in a few months pending any issues that may arise to ensure users
respect kitchen and equipment.
