MEMORANDUM

To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Sherry Dvorak, Recreation Supervisor
Meeting Date: April 18, 2006
Subject: Renewal of Tahpah Park Concession Stand Agreement
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to renew the concession stand agreement with the Shakopee
Jaycees for operation of the concession stand at the Tahpah Park softball complex.
BACKGROUND
The City had an agreement with the Shakopee Jaycees to operate the Tahpah Park
softball complex concession stand for the 2005 season. That agreement has since
expired.
Terms of the agreement specify that the Shakopee Jaycees are responsible for the
overall operation of the concession stand, including staffing, inventory, food preparation
and day-day-c1eaning and upkeep. The City's primary responsibility will be to maintain
the building.
The Jaycees would like to operate this facility in a way to help raise funds for future
improvements to Tahpah Park.
Commission payments to the City will be 10% of gross receipts. In lieu of the 2005
concession payment, the Shakopee Jaycees are donating $25,000 for the Tahpah Park
Reconstruction Project.
DISCUSSION
Terms of the agreement (Attachment A) are similar to the past agreements for
operation of Joe Schleper Stadium Concession and Ice Arena Concession stand. The
agreement specifies that the concessionaire is responsible for the overall operation of
the concession stands, including staffing, inventory, food preparation, liability, and day-to
day cleaning and upkeep.
I met with Ms. Kasey Block of the Shakopee Jaycees to discuss the details if the
concession operations for 2006. As part of our discussion was how the concession
stand would operate during for weekend tournaments. From May through July, Tahpah
Park is used almost every weekend for some type of tournament. The tournament
coordinators typically provide the concession service as part oftheir fundraising efforts.
.
The Jaycees are aware.of these tournaments.and will work with the tournament .
,
coordinators to coordinate the concessions for those tournaments. Tournament
coordinators will ne.ed to communicate with the Jaycees to what extent they want the
Jaycees involved. The Jaycees will 1) provide all concession services with a percentage
going to the tournament coordinator or 2). allow the tournament coordinators to
independently offer concessions. A meeting between currenttournament coordinators,
Shakopee Jaycees and staff will be scheduled asto outline responsibilities of all parties.
Finally, the Shakopee Jayceeswill be required to obtain the state-required food license
they need to operate.the concession stand. Each organization that hosts a.tournament
that would not be utilizing the Shakopee Jaycees for their concession operation would
also need to obtain the state-required special event food licenses. Each organization
would sign a hold-harmless agreement as part of their special use permit. This is
consistent with the City's other concession stand agreements. v
VISIONING RELATIONSHIP
This action appears to meet the following aspects of the City's vision:
Goal: Financially strong
Strategies: Foster community.connections
Ensure City's fiscal health
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend renewal of the agreement as proposed.
REQUESTED ACTION
If City Council concurs, mOve to authorize renewal of the agreement with the Shakopee
Jaycees providing concession service at Tahpah Park throughJuly 31,2006.
