ADMINISTRATIVE PROCURES

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 16, 2019

A Private Function is a planned event that is organized and sponsored by a Brandywine resident (host) and requires reserved and exclusive use of Brandywine Condominium Association (BCA) common meeting/social space. The Private Function is by invitation and may include non-residents of Brandywine.

The below Private Function Request Form must be completed by the host and approved by the BCA Management Office and Activities Committee Chairperson or representative. The host must pay a rental fee for use of the Brandywine facility. (Please refer to the Request Form for the fee schedule.)

All Private Functions must be scheduled to occur during the usual Brandywine activities’ time periods, must conclude no later than 10 p.m., and must not conflict with any scheduled BCA activities, special events, meetings, etc.

A Private Function cannot be a "for profit" event; the host cannot hold the event for income producing purposes or to earn a livelihood.

A Private Function may be held without insurance required of the host, if it does not contain or produce hazardous activities. The Private Function cannot produce greater risk than those produced by the normal activities of the recognized Brandywine social committees/groups.

If a Private Function will include the use of vendors (for example, a caterer who remains on the premises or a band), the vendors must provide evidence of licensing and adequate insurance listing Brandywine Condominium Association, at 1398 S. Brandywine Circle. Ft Myers, FL 33919, as the insured party. No alcohol is to be provided by or served by the vendor.

Host provided alcohol or BYOB is permitted and must be served in accordance with state and local regulations.

The host assumes all responsibility for the Private Function, including, though not limited to, the set-up for the event and the cleanup after the event. Cleanup includes removing the trash from the facility at the end of the event. Trash must be taken to the dumpster and not left in the rented facility space or on the sidewalks or driveways of the buildings.

The rented facility space is to be returned to the BCA in the same condition as it was prior to the event. The Activities Committee Chairperson or representative is responsible for conducting the pre- and post-event inspections. It is recommended that the host be present at these inspections.

All costs to repair damages will be paid by the host after the work is completed by the BCA. The host is not authorized to schedule or perform repair work.

The time allocated for Private Function Memorials will be two (2) hours. The Memorial Committee will work with the host/hostess to facilitate the event.

The host will provide a list of all invited non-resident guests to the BCA Management Office not less than seventy-two (72) hours prior to the function.

Private Function parking is limited to a maximum of twenty (20) vehicles and only permitted in designated parking spaces. Parking is not reserved and may be limited to fewer than 20 spaces when other residents are using them.

Children attending a Private Function must be accompanied by, and under the direct supervision of, a responsible adult at all times.

Two checks made payable to Brandywine Activities Committee must be provided at the time of scheduling with the BCA Management Office; a check for the rental fee, and a check on deposit against condition issues. The deposit check will be refunded to the resident only if the facility is returned to the BCA clean and in the same condition as prior to the event. The refund of any un-spent deposit will be made to the host the week following the event. The Treasurer of the Activities Committee will hold all funds in escrow.

The Private Function rental fee applies only to renting the space.

POOL USE IS STRICTLEY PROHIBITED FOR PRIVATE FUNCTIONS.
