The governing body of each municipality issuing bonds under this chapter shall have the authority, and it shall be its duty, to establish and collect reasonable charges for the admission of all persons to the auditorium premises for the purpose of use of any of the facilities of the auditorium and for attendance at or participation in any recreational, athletic, or educational activities or exhibitions conducted by the municipality or any board or department thereof, or for any other purpose except operation and maintenance of the premises and activities necessary to the functioning of the municipal government, and shall also have the authority and duty to establish and collect reasonable rentals for all use and occupancy and reservation for use or occupancy of the premises and any part thereof, for any purpose, by any person, firm, or public or private corporation other than the municipality itself, whether or not such person, firm, or corporation shall charge for admission of individuals to the premises when so rented. Such rentals and charges shall be fixed according to schedules, and shall be revised when necessary, so as to produce gross revenues at all times sufficient for current operation and maintenance of the auditorium and payment of a reasonable return to the municipality on any investment of general funds therein, and to produce net revenues sufficient for prompt payment of all outstanding revenue bonds and interest and creation and maintenance of agreed reserves.
