Franklin trustees review three‑year concessions deal with Snowy vendor
Summary
Board members discussed a proposed three‑year concessions agreement with Snowy (owner Chad Beaver) to operate high‑school concessions, keep Pepsi product arrangements unchanged, and pay 25% of gross revenue to the district; the board asked follow‑up questions and expects the item back for approval in August.
President Gil opened discussion on a concessions vendor agreement proposed by Mister Dodi, who presented terms for a three‑year contract with a vendor identified in the transcript as Snowy, owned and operated by Chad Beaver.
Mister Dodi said Snowy currently operates concessions at Triton/Whiteland and would provide staffing, inventory management and point‑of‑sale services at Franklin Community High School. "If we can get to that same level of profit, and then without the inventory management… I think it's a win win for us," he said.
Dodi told trustees the district would continue to own equipment and maintain Pepsi product arrangements; the proposal would set district revenue at 25% of gross sales. He said Roger Young had reviewed and modified indemnification language in the draft agreement.
Board members asked operational questions about sales reporting and staffing. One trustee asked whether the vendor would use the district's current card machines; Dodi said Snowy would use its own systems (likely Square) and track sales separately. Trustees also raised concerns about potential lost fundraising opportunities for clubs and boosters; Dodi said Snowy had offered to work with clubs on staffing and that the proposal applies only to high‑school events, leaving other events and some club concessions unchanged.
On timing, Dodi said the vendor would start in August if the board approved and that the draft includes a short out clause (about 15 days) if problems arise. He recommended placing Pepsi and supply orders to be ready for the first football games in mid‑August and said he would return with follow‑up answers and documentation at the board's next meeting or sooner.
The board did not vote on the concession agreement at the July 13 meeting; trustees asked Dodi to supply the outstanding details and said the item would return for formal approval.
The board will consider the finalized agreement at its August meeting; if approved, the vendor would begin operations for the upcoming high‑school season.
