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.
