Beginning Jan. 1, meeting room reservations for February 2018 bookings and beyond at the East and South Cobb Government Service Centers must be booked online.
The link may be found on the Cobb County website at CobbCounty.org/gsc.
Step 1: Create a registration account on the county's reservation system. Be sure to include your email address.
Step 2: Find the Government Service Center meeting rooms on the facilities list. Then click on the calendar to see if the date in which you are interested is available. (Type GSC in the filter on the left side of the page). If available, fill in your meeting request information. Be sure to include time for set up, clean up and return of furnishings to the standard configuration of the room.
Step 3: Your reservation request will be reviewed and verified by county staff, and you will receive an email confirmation within 48 hours. Your reservation is not confirmed until you have received notification.
Step 4: Once you receive your confirmation, follow the link to retrieve your reservation and pay the fee to reserve the room. Acceptable forms of payment are credit card and debit card with $25 charged to your credit card for each use of the room. A reservation will not be considered confirmed until full payment has been received and the Meeting Room Agreement has been executed fully online by the county's representative and the reserving party. Once payment is received, an entry code to access the meeting room on the date of your event will be emailed to you.
Step 5: On the day of rental, you will need to sign in on the posted sheet at the facility, indicating arrival time, number of participants, departure time and verifying room was clean and in order before and after completion of the event. Failure to comply may result in denial of future rental. Drop the form in the drop box just outside the room.
Room fees are refundable only if the event is cancelled 14 days or more before the event. Any qualifying refund will be issued by check from Cobb County.
The county reserves the right to cancel or deny the reservation for reasons listed in the Meeting Agreement. Allow 30 days for refunds.
