Park Board asks staff to study point-of-sale and staffing options for concessions
Summary
Board members reviewed a preliminary 2024 concessions tally, discussed a point-of-sale system to improve inventory control, and agreed to bid out concessions and research staffing models ahead of the 2025 season.
Board members discussed the 2024 concessions operation and directed staff to research point-of-sale systems and staffing options for the 2025 season.
Speaker 5 said the board’s intent was to obtain a recommendation to forward to city council later this year and provided a preliminary revenue/expense figure for 2024; the number in the transcript is unclear and should be verified with staff. Members noted point-of-sale hardware and an internet connection could improve inventory tracking and reduce losses; the pool uses a similar system.
Members generally supported the idea of bidding out concessions and exploring staffing models that would keep inventory control and provide reliable coverage during events. The board requested further research into cost and staffing implications before returning with a formal recommendation to the council.
