and agreements for use of armories.
(1) The person, firm, association or corporation applying for the rental of an
armory or space within an armory shall execute and deliver a written agreement
which shall include among its provisions its full name and address, the purpose
for which such use is desired, the nature and manner of the intended use of
such space, a reasonable rental to be paid for such use and the amounts to be
paid for heating, lighting, janitorial and other services connected with such
use. The terms and provisions of such agreement shall be governed by military
department regulations issued pursuant to this chapter and ORS chapters 398 and
399, which regulations shall include provisions designed to prevent unfair
competition with privately owned property and business.
(2) No agreement
for use made under this section shall be effective until such agreement or
lease has been approved and executed by the officer in charge of the armory and
has been approved by military superiors as prescribed by military department
regulations issued pursuant to this chapter and ORS chapters 398 and 399.
(3) No agreement
or lease made under this section may be assigned in whole or in part nor may
such space or any part thereof be sublet to or used by a person, firm,
association or corporation not a party to such agreement, unless each
assignment, subletting or use is first approved in writing by the officer in
charge of the armory.
(4) All moneys
paid or given, directly or indirectly, for the use of an armory or to obtain an
agreement or permission to use the armory shall be use fees within the meaning
of this section and shall be paid to the officer in charge of the armory. Any
person other than the officer in charge of the armory who receives any such
moneys shall immediately pay over the moneys to the officer in charge of the
armory, who shall immediately forward such moneys for deposit in the Military
Department Miscellaneous Receipts Account in the State Treasury to be available
for Oregon Military Department expenses.
(5)
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of ORS 396.505 to 396.545, when use of an
armory is by a federal, state, county or municipal bureau, agency or department
or by any of the Armed Forces of the United States or any of the reserve
components thereof, or by any reserve officers training corps unit, the
Adjutant General, in the discretion of the Adjutant General, may require the
execution of a contract or agreement for such use, upon such terms and
conditions as the Adjutant General may prescribe. [1961 c.454 §38; 1973 c.297 §3;
