Board approves concessions agreements, shelter-rate increases, locker-room reconfiguration and press-box transfer

The Mitchell Parks and Recreation Board approved several facility and rental items at the meeting.

Votes at a glance: - Cadwell Stadium concessions use agreement with the Mitchell Exchange Club — motion approved (vote recorded as "Aye; Motion carried"). - Increase in rental rates for three premium park shelters (Pat Young, Hitchcock enclosed and Sportsman's Club) — motion approved to list the three shelters by name rather than an across-the-board "air-conditioned shelter" surcharge; board approved the change to take effect immediately for new bookings. - Arena locker-room reconfiguration (move coach's room between two locker rooms) — motion approved; building inspector previously indicated no structural/plumbing changes would be necessary so long as load-bearing elements were not altered. - Mitchell Soccer Association 2025 concession-stand agreement — motion approved; the association will pay a $100 nominal fee for limited use of coolers/storage while the countertop replacement is planned for next year's budget (estimated $8,000–$9,000). - Transfer of the Field B press box at no cost to the neighboring municipal government, Mount Vernon, under the cited state statute (transcript reference: "SDLS 6 dash 5 point dot dash 1") — motion approved.

Most motions were moved and seconded from the board; vote tallies were recorded as voice votes with "Aye" and "Motion carried." For several items, the board noted details to follow in staff reports (for example, the concession countertop will be budgeted next year).
