Committee delays pool‑vendor local law while Public Works resolves vendor contract concerns
Summary
Deputy Chair Kovacs described changes that would allow vendors at the County Pool Complex subject to Department of Public Works approval; Public Works leadership said postponement allows time to resolve concerns raised by the existing concessionaire, and the committee agreed to wait for the Public Works committee review.
Deputy Chair Kovacs explained the county code currently prohibits vendors at the County Pool Complex even though a permanent concessionaire has operated there for years. The proposed local law (Local Law No. 12 of 2026 / Res. 450) would permit vending and concessions at the pool during authorized events, subject to Department of Public Works approval.
Legislator Nolan, chair of Public Works, said concerns from the existing vendor prompted the Public Works Committee to postpone the measure so staff and the concessionaire could meet and clarify contract terms; he requested the Laws, Rules and Government Services Committee wait for Public Works’ September meeting before taking action. Kovacs said the change is intended to allow necessary vendor activity while protecting existing contractual rights; members did not object to waiting.
