The Commissioners used Ms. Sunday’s report to determine if an increase in rental fee at the OSU Ex- tension Building/Hall is appropriate. After discussion, the Commissioners agreed to raise the rental of the OSU Extension Building/Hall to $400.00. This rental fee includes the use of the hall and the kitchen and is the week- end daily rate. The deposit to hold the hall was increased to $200.00. The de- posit is refundable if the hall, kitchen, restrooms, and grounds are cleaned and left as found prior to the event.
