Facilities

The total deposit amount ($300.00) and all rental fees must be paid in full by sixty (60) days prior to rental date for use of the facility.  A portion of the deposit ($100) is required and due at the time of reservation to reserve the rental date.

Prior Day Setup:  Set up and teardown for the Renter’s event must be done on the same day as the event, unless the Clubhouse is rented for more than one day.  However, if the Renter wishes to set up for the event on the day before the event (the “set up date”), and the set up date has not been reserved by another renter within fourteen (14) days of the Renter’s event, then the Renter may purchase the set up at that time and set up starting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the set up date after paying the fee amount listed above.

Vacating the Clubhouse:  The building must be cleared, cleaned and vacated, and the key returned to Dispatch, by midnight (or ending time if additional hours added) of the final rental date.

Additional Per Hour Rate:  If the building is not cleared, cleaned and vacated, and the key returned to Dispatch, by midnight of the final rental date, then the additional hour rate ($75.00/hour), noted above, may be added to the amount due for Rent and deducted from the deposit refund.

Deposit Refund:  The Deposit due at time of reservation will not be refunded unless the Renter cancels the reservation for the use of the Clubhouse at least six (6) months before the Renter’s event rental date.  If the Renter leaves the Clubhouse in good and clean condition, and returns the key to Dispatch immediately after event on or before midnight of the final rental date, and all Rental Contract guidelines are followed, then the full deposit will be refunded, subject to the conditions listed in this Rental Contract.

Cancellation Policy: If Renter cancels the Rental Contract within sixty (60) days of the event date(s), Renter forfeits fifty percent (50%) of the total rental amount.

Security:  Security is required for all events at the Clubhouse, unless approval is granted by Luling Police Department.  The Renter is responsible for contacting the Luling Police Department, at 830-875-5407, at least two weeks prior to the event to hire security officers.  The minimum number of security officers for an event is one officer. Proof of security is required prior to the event.  Failure to timely hire security for the event may result in cancellation of the event, or the City of Luling may schedule security officers and charge the Renter for the cost.  If, during or after the event, it is determined that no Security was scheduled by Renter, the City may choose to withhold the refundable deposit.  Security fees are $40 per officer, per hour.  The City of Luling reserves the right to require additional security officers to attend the event, depending on the type of event and number of attendees.

Alcoholic Beverages:  If alcoholic beverages are sold or consumed at the event, the Renter must purchase and furnish proof of Liquor Host Liability Insurance (purchase through www.wedsafe.com) for the event with the City of Luling as a named insured, at least 14 days before the event (email copy to Zedler@cityofluling.net).  If, during or after the event, it is determined that alcohol was in fact present on the premises at the event without proper insurance coverage, permits or licenses, the City may choose to withhold the refundable deposit.

Keys:  All keys must be returned to Dispatch in the envelope provided immediately after event upon departure.  If a key is lost, misplaced or not returned, the Clubhouse may be re-keyed, and the Renter will be responsible for all costs to re-key the building.  

Parking:  Parking is located in the paved parking lot next to the Clubhouse.
