A Certificate of
Liability Insurance (obtained through your organization
or homeowner’s policy) with minimum coverage of $300,000
is required for all rentals. In the area designated
Certificate Holder, the insurance company must designate
the City of Thibodaux, Parks Department as holder. In
the Description’s area, they must fill in the type of
event, the date of the event, the place of the event to
be held, along with naming the City of Thibodaux as
additional insured for this event.
Setup time beyond normal business hours will be allowed
before an event at a charge of $15 per hour. A Park’s
staff member must be present to open the facility. We do
not loan keys to renters. (If the function is on a
weeknight, you may have free setup in the daytime during
our regular business hours provided no activities are
being held at the time you plan on coming to setup).
** ADD a additional
$20 Custodial Fee to all Rentals
A permit may be
required for certain pavilion events (such as festivals,
races, etc.) and must be obtained after the Certificate
of Liability Insurance is produced and the rental fee
has been paid at the Parks Department. A permit package
can be obtained from the Tax & License Dept. at City
Hall, 310 West 2nd Street and/or the Parks Department,
and be completely filled out and returned to the Parks
office. Once processed, the Tax & License Dept. will
issue the permit at no charge to the renter. The renter
should keep the permit with him/her while at the
scheduled event. (Tables and chairs will not be loaned
out for pavilion rental).
Deposit fee is payable at the time the Rental Agreement
is signed at the Parks Dept. Office in Peltier Park on
or before FIFTEEN (15) working days prior to event date.
The amount of the deposit for all rentals is the initial
three-hour rental fee or flat fee of $50.00 for the
pavilion. The length of the rental determines the
remainder of the cost. If not paid in advance, the
renter will be responsible for paying the remaining
amount due by giving the City employee working that
event a check (made payable to the City of Thibodaux)
prior to the additional hours requested during the
event. The Certificate of Liability Insurance is due on
or before FIFTEEN (15) working days prior to the event
date.
Liability Insurance must be produced and deposit must be
paid before reservations are considered final.
A cancellation must be made 3 days prior to event for
refund of fees paid. If a cancellation is made, on or
before three days prior to the event date, the Parks
Department will make a request for refund, and the
actual refund will be processed and mailed by the
Finance Department according to the regular accounts
payable schedule.
If you will be serving alcoholic beverages inside the
building, it is necessary to have a Police Officer
present during the event. You will be responsible for
paying the officer $25.00 per hour, four (4) hour
minimum. This fee is payable to the officer at the time
of the event. Please contact the Thibodaux Police Dept.
to schedule a police officer for your event.
