Parks department loans skates to Madison Fun Factory for one year at no cost
Summary
Madison Parks and Recreation gave Kenny of Madison Fun Factory use of the department's skates free of charge for one year; staff said they will revisit the arrangement after the year and hope the business will buy the equipment.
Madison Parks and Recreation notified the Park Board that it will allow Kenny, owner of the new Madison Fun Factory, to use the department—s skates free of charge for one year to help his business get established. The decision was documented by a letter included in the board packet and summarized by staff at the meeting.
Kenny told the board Madison Fun Factory will offer family entertainment for all ages, including an arcade, a skating rink roughly the size of a basketball court, pool tables, RC race track and other attractions. Parks staff said the skates have served community families for many years and expressed hope the equipment will continue in local use through the private venue.
Board members and staff discussed what would happen after one year: staff said they will "revisit" the arrangement and hope Kenny—s business will be successful and choose to buy the skates. The transcript records no written purchase or replacement agreement: a board member asked whether replacement of damaged skates was in a written agreement, and staff replied "No. Not. No." Staff said the department would expect replacement if the arrangement were broken.
The board expressed general support for the arrangement and wished Kenny success with the new business.
