Council directs staff to amend concession lease so Perrigo Park snack shack is rentable on weekends
Summary
Council pulled consent item 6e to clarify terms of the Perrigo Park concession lease (inspection frequency, utilities, insurance). Members directed staff to amend the contract so the concession building is available Monday–Friday for the tenant and open on weekends for day-rate rentals, and asked for legal review and clearer utility-cost accounting.
Council pulled consent agenda item 6e — the lease for the concession/snack shack at Perrigo Park — for clarification on inspection frequency and lease terms. A staff representative acknowledged an error in the agreement text where both "weekly" and "monthly" inspections were referenced and said the clause came from prior years’ agreements.
Councilors and a public commenter raised questions about which utilities and costs the city would continue to cover, whether the site carries insurance requirements, and whether the building’s current setup precludes other users. A motion was made and seconded directing staff to amend the lease so the concession operates Monday–Friday under the tenant’s occupancy while leaving weekends available for day‑rate rentals; council asked staff to bring revised contract language and to seek legal review before finalization. Public commenter Julie urged equitable access and suggested an operational approach that allows the public to use the facility when feasible.
