(a) The Adjutant General, acting for and on behalf of the Arkansas National Guard, shall issue rules concerning the rental and use of a National Guard readiness center or its facilities or portions thereof to any person, organization, firm, corporation, or governmental agency for any legal use for short periods of time, provided the renting of the readiness center or its facilities or portions thereof does not interfere with its use by the National Guard for training or other military purposes.
(b) All such rentals shall be in writing and shall contain appropriate clauses permitting immediate termination or cancellation of the rental agreement on order of the Adjutant General should the public interest or National Guard purposes necessitate the termination.
(c) A readiness center or its facilities or portions thereof shall not be rented for less than an amount sufficient to cover all expenses, including custodian fees, utility bills, janitor service, and any repairs occasioned by such use.
(d)
(1) Readiness center funds are those funds derived from the use of the facilities by an individual, agency, or organization other than the official users of the facilities by National Guard units quartered therein. Social meetings for members of a unit and their families, sponsored by the unit, are considered official.
(2) A full and complete record of funds received and disbursed shall be maintained by the senior officer of the official using the unit and shall be subject to audit as may be required by the Adjutant General.
(3) The Adjutant General shall publish rules governing the expenditure of such rental funds to ensure that the state expenses are recovered from the rental funds and that rental funds are used for Arkansas National Guard morale, welfare, and recreation events.
