Concessions return a small surplus after menu and staffing changes, board hears
Summary
Staff reported concessions revenue of about $23,400 in 2025 with spending of $22,400, a positive balance just over $1,000 and more than 6,500 items sold; board asked about healthier options and a $1,300 cash vs. sales recording discrepancy caused by occasional tablet failures.
Park staff reported a notable turnaround in concession sales for 2025: revenues of roughly $23,400, spending around $22,400, and a small positive balance of just over $1,000. Staff said changes to the menu and reduced night staffing helped reverse prior-year losses; top sellers included bottled soda, candy, pizza by the slice and pretzels.
"For 2025 concessions, we've brought in about 23,400 this year, which is 78 of our annual goal," the recreation report said. Board members praised the improvement and asked about adding healthier menu options; staff noted some additions such as granola bars had been tried and will be monitored for demand.
A board member flagged a discrepancy between cash deposited and sales recorded in CivicRec (about $1,300). Staff explained occasional tablet or point-of-sale failures and unlogged cash sales as the likely cause and said they will investigate and tighten procedures.
What's next: Staff will monitor sales and item demand, explore reasonable healthy options, and investigate the cash-recording discrepancy to ensure point-of-sale reliability.
