UTOF Report: Use of owned facilities Submitted to the Board of Selectmen, Town of Chilmark, MA by: James Malkin, Andy Goldman, Jane Slater.
A committee appointed by the selectmen has been tasked with the charge of recommending policies and procedures that will govern the utilization of Town owned facilities in Chilmark Town Center, including the CCC and the Chilmark School. The Committee met twice in May, twice in June and once in July. All meetings were posted and open to the public in accordance with Commonwealth requirements.
In preparation for this report the committee has reviewed the CCC Rules and General Information, the CCC Booking instructions, the CCC rental request form, the temporary food establishment permit application and the inter-municipal agreement by and between the Town of Chilmark and the Up-Island Regional school District regarding the use of the Chilmark School.
All entities on record as using Town owned facilitates were asked to provide copies of any agreements or understanding they had with the town.
The Committee has also heard from Nancy Street on behalf of the CC Affairs Council regarding their practices during the summer months of their custody of the CCC. In addition to their own programs, they allow the MV Film Festival and the MV Chamber Music Society to use the venue for their programs.
Issues considered by the Committee included:
- How to harmonize and coordinate use so that the limited resources in Town Center are not overtaxed by simultaneous events.
- How to assure that the use of the Town resources benefits Town residents and taxpayers.
- How to assure that fees for usage are sufficient to assure adequate compensation for proper maintenance and wear and tear.
- How to set fees that reflect the commercial or non-commercial utilization of the space.
- How to assure that practices of space users are consistent with Chilmark values and character
- How to improve procedures where they exist and suggest new procedures where they are absent
- Approval process – including BOH where appropriate
- Scheduling
- Fees
- Alcohol- restrictions and additional security
RECCOMENDATIONS TO THE SELECTMEN
- All applicants for usage must be a town resident and/or sponsored by a town resident.

Chairman Rossi conditioned Selectmen approval of this application with the MVFF listing the Town of Chilmark (520 State Road) on the insurance liability certificate that is supplied with the rental fee and cleaning deposit. Discussion moved to rental fee for this event. As the UTOF recommendations have yet to be adopted it was recommended that the regular single day rental apply. This is a $200.00 rental with an additional $100.00 cleaning deposit.
Chairman Rossi said since this application also includes a request to have a fire pit, he asked that Chief Norton specify his recommendations prior to giving permission for a fire. Chief Norton specified this fire not be larger than last year’s fire, that this fire pit is attended to by MVFF the entire time it is lit (It may not be unattended at any time). Chief Norton requested that the MVFF contact him the day of the event to get a go ahead prior to lighting fire (weather may be a factor).
