District proposes $80-per-event rental to move concession stands toward small-business program
Summary
Staff proposed consolidating concession stands into a small-business program with an $80 per-event rental fee to build up a $7,000 cooler inventory; projected payback in two years and about $4,000 annual revenue from in-house events.
A staff member (speaker 5) proposed folding management of multiple concession stands into a small-business program and charging a rental fee to groups that operate the stands. "It started at a $100 per event ... we kinda negotiated that down to about $80 per event," the staff member said, and explained the fee would pay for coolers and service, with a roughly two-year payback on an initial investment of about $7,000.
Board members asked operational questions about billing timing and equipment service. The staff member said groups would likely be billed at the end of the season and that the district is pursuing local service options through Saint Cloud restaurant supply. The proposal also noted current in-house concession revenue of about $4,000 a year and that the change intends to simplify invoicing and deliveries.
