Point Mallard concession griddle replacement proposed for this season to resolve service delays

City staff told the council work session they will seek approval next week to replace the primary griddle at the Point Mallard Aquatic Center concession to address customer-service problems caused by partial equipment failure. A presenter said the concession's main griddle—"the piece that actually, we cook most of the food on"—is only half functional, and on busy days or private parties the limited capacity "has been indefinitely, a struggle for us to get all the food out in a timely manner." The presenter said that replacing the griddle this season rather than waiting until next year is a customer-service decision. The item appeared on the work-session agenda as Resolution 20Five-one76; staff did not provide a purchase price during the session. No formal vote occurred at the work session; the item is scheduled for the next regular meeting.
