City Manager Paul Sabiston told council the rates were based on those from The Centre at Halifax Community College. “It’s a good agreement in general,” he said at the work session. “It’s very competitive with The Centre, some are a little higher like the stage. There are some things they don’t have like VIP areas. I think we have a superior facility. If anyone thinks we’ve overpriced or underestimated we can change these. I think we have a good possibility to make some expense money.”
Under the approved rental rates, stage and auditorium use would be $2,000 for major events and $1,500 for community or nonprofit events.
The city would collect all parking revenue.
Half day VIP room rates with no alcohol would be $300 for the city and $100 for the operator. The same rate with alcohol would be $500 for the city and $150 for the operator.
Full day events for the VIP room with no alcohol would be $500 for the city and $175 for the operator.
The with alcohol rate for a full day would be $900 for the city and $250 for the operator.
A half day for the lobby area with no alcohol would be $500 for the city and $175 for the operator.
The with alcohol fee would be $800 for the city and $250 for the operator.
Full day lobby use with no alcohol would be $900 for the city and $300 for the operator.
With alcohol would be $1,200 for the city and $300 for the operator.

The Centre...... supported by county tax dollars
RR Theatre...... supported by city tax dollars
Is there going to be a price war between two tax payer supported facilities? This is idiotic. What a mess.
