Sheboygan council approves Vollrath Park concession agreement, adopts consent agenda after budget clarification
Summary
The council approved a multi‑year operating agreement with PJA VU Fine Foods & Catering LLC to run concessions at Vollrath Park and adopted the consent agenda; the finance director clarified the assessment division budget reflects an all‑in estimate for three positions pending a transition from contracted staff.
The Sheboygan City Council approved an operating agreement with PJA VU Fine Foods & Catering LLC to operate concession services at Vollrath Park’s disc‑golf facility and adopted the consent agenda after staff clarified personnel cost estimates for the assessment division.
Alderperson Decker moved to suspend the rules and adopt Resolution 38‑26‑27 approving the operating agreement with PJA VU; the motion proceeded after the City Attorney explained the item had been missed on a prior committee agenda due to an administrative error and staff and the vendor sought to implement the agreement before the next cycle following the July 4 holiday. The council approved the resolution on a 10‑0 roll call.
Public works director Travis summarized the agreement as a three‑year contract with up to two one‑year extensions (five years total), including a lease element. Travis said the vendor plans to operate the concession stand, support disc‑golf usage, offer catering services and expand activation to pickleball and tennis events, with potential tournament programming to increase use of the facility.
During consideration of the consent agenda, the Finance Director provided clarification on agenda item 11: the budget document presented an all‑in cost estimate for three new assessment division positions that included four months of salary and three months of benefits per position, to account for a potential transition from contracted services to in‑house staff; recruiting would begin when the transition timing is confirmed.
Alderperson Heideman asked whether the parks and forestry committee had been consulted; staff said the item had not gone through that committee and it was unclear which committee members were aware. Alderperson Kelly thanked staff for clarifying the city’s social media policy, a separate consent item that was noted and supported by council members.
The council also accepted and filed the resignation of Marcus Savalo from the Board of Zoning Appeals and approved the minutes from the June 1, 2026 regular council meeting earlier in the meeting.
