Staff weigh staffing and vendor options for Snack Shack at Monte Rio beach
Summary
Staff raised concerns about staffing and set-up costs for operating the Snack Shack at the beach and discussed offering a concessions agreement to licensed local food trucks; the board will revisit the issue Feb. 10, 2025.
District staff told the Facilities and Safety Committee that operating the Snack Shack this summer carries staffing and set-up expenses that may outweigh revenue. The minutes note that Administrator Marina McTaggart and Park Supervisor Leslie Hofelich have spent time on training, ordering supplies, troubleshooting and supervision, and that the district is weighing whether to operate the concession directly or offer the activity to local, licensed and permitted food-truck vendors.
No final decision was made; the committee scheduled further discussion for the Feb. 10, 2025 board meeting. Staff framed the choice as balancing anticipated income against the administrative time expended by district staff.
