ACC/MNC also reserves the right to require ACC/MNC personnel at any rental of the MNC property.  There is a cost of $10 per hour; this $10 per hour is paid in cash to the attendant at the beginning of the event.

 

On the day of the event ACC/MNC attendant will meet with the renter to introduce themselves and to discuss details and address any specific concerns.  Any problem during the event should be reported to ACC/MNC attendant.
