It can be left to the discretion of the UC Director to calculate an estimate of out-of-pocket expenses and use that amount (figured prior to event) rather than using actual hours.

Any additional personnel added after estimate is made will be included as a separate billing item (expense) after the event.

NOTE -- For events with estimated charges totaling under $1,000, a facility use reservation form is required. For events with estimated charges at or exceeding $1,000, a contract must be signed by the third party renting organization and by the Administration of Southeastern.
