Parks board approves soccer concession amendment and renews ice-rink agreements
Summary
The board approved a temporary concession change for a soccer tournament and renewed figure skating and hockey facility-use agreements; small fee tweaks were noted for peak ice-time rates, and the soccer amendment covers the 2024 season only.
The Mitchell Parks and Recreation Board approved an amendment to the soccer agreement allowing limited concession sales from a gazebo for a fall tournament and renewed annual agreements with figure skating and hockey associations.
The soccer amendment, presented by Speaker 4, allows the league to sell "drinks and snacks" from an outdoor gazebo during a one-time fall tournament; the change applies to the 2024 season and will need renewal for future seasons. Board members clarified the change does not allow use of indoor concession buildings and approved the amendment by motion (Speaker 1 moved; Speaker 5 seconded).
On rink use, Speaker 4 said the figure skating agreement included a slight tweak in peak-hour ice-time fees; Speaker 1 noted an hourly charge of "$81 per ring per hour" during peak hours after a $1 increase. The board approved the figure skating contract by motion and later approved the Hockey Association facility-use agreement.
Next steps: The soccer concession amendment is limited to the 2024 season and will require renewal. Minor fee tweaks for ice-time were accepted but staff said they can revisit rates if associations or staff raise concerns.
