Summary
The commission authorized staff to execute a concession agreement with Three's Company LLC to place a vending machine at the Smith Ryerson facility to provide snacks and low-fat options for park users.
The Muskegon City Commission on Oct. 14 authorized staff to enter a concession agreement with Three's Company LLC to install and operate a vending machine at the Smith Ryerson site to provide snacks to park users.
Parks and Recreation Director Patrick Chesky said a resident requested vending options at the Smith Ryerson center and proposed a concession arrangement that would supply snack items, including lower-fat choices. Chesky said staff prefers to follow the city's established concession policy, which sets the terms for revenue share and the duration of agreements.
Commissioners discussed term length and operating details; staff said the concession would be handled as a one-year agreement aligned to the city's fiscal year so the vendor has a full season to operate before renewal decisions are made. The motion to authorize the agreement passed on a roll call vote with all members present voting yes.
