WAC 132E-137-010   General policy covering the use of the facilities.  (1) The parties to this agreement are the Washington State Community College District 5, acting under specific authority granted to its board of trustees by the laws of the state of Washington, to contract for the use of the facility at Everett Community College, hereinafter referred to as the college and the organization contracting to use the college facilities, hereinafter referred to as the licensee.

     (2) Before a college facility may be used, this college facility use agreement must be completed and signed by the college president or his designee. Forms may be obtained from the college facilities maintenance office or college student activities office. All information received on agreements not completed at least fourteen school days prior to the date of intended use may be denied. A single use agreement should be made for a series of similar meetings. A separate agreement must be made for each meeting which varies from the series.

     (3) The building and grounds of the college are primarily for educational purposes. No other use shall be permitted to interfere with the primary purpose for which these facilities are intended. Facilities shall not be made available for any use which might result in any undue damage or wear. The college reserves the right to reject any application for use of college facilities.

     (4) Every possible opportunity will be provided for the use of college facilities by citizens of the district community college service area, provided that the purpose of the meeting is in harmony with public interest and welfare, subject to the laws of the state of Washington and rules and regulations prescribed by the District 5 board of trustees for the operation of the college.

     (5) It is the present policy of the college to permit organizations considered closely affiliated with college-related educational purposes to use facilities of the college at the lowest possible charge.

     (6) College facilities may be used by other public or private educational institutions only insofar as they meet a community educational need not being fulfilled by the community college district.

     (7) The college does not wish to compete with private enterprise. Therefore, the use of buildings for commercial-type entertainment, banquets, luncheons, and money raising events is discouraged.

     (8) The college reserves the right to prohibit the use of college facilities by groups, or activities, which are secret, which are of a private nature, or which restrict membership or attendance, in a manner inconsistent with the public and nondiscriminatory character of the college set forth in its written policies and commitments. Subversive organizations as defined and listed by the Attorney General of the United States shall not be eligible to use college facilities.

     (9) Use agreements shall not be entered into for any use which, in the judgment of the college may be in any way prejudicial to the best interest of the college or the educational program, or for which satisfactory sponsorship or adequate adult supervision is not provided. Proper police and fire protection shall be provided by the organization when required by the college.
