According to Parks and Recreation Director Breyana Brandt, the decision to lower hourly rates was made "to boost revenue and keep the space activated." The event rental season has also been expanded to include the month of April.
The Hacienda kitchen rental fees will be reduced to $30 per hour for all renters (nonprofit, private and commercial), a substantial decrease from $40, $45 and $110 respectively. The kitchen staging fee, currently a $60 flat rate for all renters, will be eliminated completely.
The Casita, while currently closed for renovations thanks to the generous $120,000 donation from the Hacienda Foundation of Moraga, will reopen by late August to welcome the Moraga Day Camp. The Casita's hourly rental rates will be $35 nonprofit, $40 private and $85 commercial. Brandt noted, "After the Casita repairs, we'll still have money left to work on the gas inserts for the fireplaces in the Hacienda and Pavilion."
Also available for rental is the La Sala facility. Most often used for birthday parties and classes, La Sala comes equipped with a residential-sized kitchen. Hourly rental rates are $35 nonprofit, $40 private and $85 commercial.
With reduced facility rental rates in a historic and beautiful setting, residents and out-of-towners can make their special occasions more memorable with an event at the Hacienda de las Flores. |
