FEE. $75.00 per reservation.
DEPOSITS. A damage deposit of $100.00 is required for rental of any SCC facility. If alcohol (beer/wine) is being consumed--cans, bottles, or one keg--the damage deposit is $200.00. For two kegs (more than two kegs is prohibited)--the damage deposit is $275.00. The standard $100 damage deposit is automatically added to the reservation fee. To include alcohol during your reservation you must select the appropriate additional damage deposit.
All or a portion of any deposit may be withheld if additional clean-up or repairs beyond normal maintenance are required. Staff time for clean-up will be charged in one-hour increments at $30/hour (one-hour minimum). These deposits are not a limit of liability for damage to county property. Facility renters are responsible for any damage done to SCC facilities and grounds. The Board may utilize all legal remedies to recover damages.
Damage deposits for reservations made within three months of the event date will be refunded to the credit card used to make payment. Deposits for reservations made more than three months prior to the event date will be returned via check issued by the Story County Auditor's office. Please allow up to four weeks for processing.

- Any event or gathering not sponsored by the SCC and including 250 people or more.
- Any event or gathering charging admission or charging for services regardless of the number of people.
