PARK CONCESSION DEVELOPMENT - CA 72-15
'.At:,-, clerk presented a cornuunication from the City Administrator concerning the
City Park Concession Development together with a proposed park concession
p<, .:_t::; and an invitation for concession proposals. The Park Concession Policy is
proposed as follows:
The policy will include safeguards as to public interest, reversion to public
-m,mn :.shi_p an-3 operation, and rental fees for concession activities required to
pro%,ide full service to the public and still provide partial funding to offset
n li_ritn 1nCe costs. This policy will not concern itself with user fees which
should be considered as a separate policy. The following philosophy should
form the outline for standard concession agreements:
1. The City should encourage the use of private capital for development of
needed concession facilities in parks.
2. The City will provide all primary facilities such as utilities to con-
cession site, paths, and ancillary requirements.
3. Contracts with concessionaires for construction and operation of facilities
should be awarded through negotiation on the basis of probable success.
4. TheJ determination of gross percentage rates should be based on evaluation
of 'the following factors:
a. The investment capital required.
b. The potential gross revenue.
c. The potential net revenue.
d. The controls exercised and maintained by the City.
e. The high possessory interest tax applied to local government concessions
in this county. ,
5. The concessionaire's capital investment and amortization schedule should be
evaluated. If investment is high, the concessionaire should be allowed a
reasonably early amortization period or long term contract in order to pro-
vide the City a greater overall total revenue during the life of the contract.
6. The City should provide strict audit and price control on services of the
concessionaire.
7. The City will construct and operate all panting facilities except those that
are an integral part of a concession.
8. All proposed concessions will be evaluated as to imaginative character and non -
carnival nature with architectural and structural controls administered by
appropriate City agencies.
9. The level of service will be to conduct and maintain the concession as a
safe, clean, and first class operation.
10. The concessionaire will maintain insurance policies during the term of the
contract covering public liability and propetty damage in minimum sums to
protect the City.
Page #5 - Council Minutes - 5/15/72
11. The concessionaire will comply with all standards of health codes, safety,
maintenance and courtesy to best serve the interests of all concerned.
The City Administrator addressed Council concerning the proposed park concession
policy, and solicitation of concession proposals, and the subsequent implementation
of same. He informed Council of his recommendation that the Park Concession Policy.
be adopted; the solicitation of proposals approved and that he be instructed to
make recommendations on the selection of possible concessionaires.
