RE: Authorize Sale of Fermented Malt Beverages at Reetz Ball Fields Concession Stand
By Parks Department Staff
BACKGROUND
For the past 20 years, the Boys & Girls Club Alumni have operated the concession stand at the Reetz Ball
Fields. Concession items included beer,soda,water,hot dogs,hamburgers,candy and snacks,etc. The City
and the Alumni group had a lease agreement which expired at the end of 2012. The Alumni group has
notified us that they will no longer be able to operate the concession stand.
ANALYSIS
Jenny McCollian,Revenue Facilities Manager,and.I discussed various options for the concessions operation
and have decided the Parks Department will operate the concessions for the 2013 season. We will utilize
some of our existing seasonal staff that work at our other concession operations throughout the parks. The
staff members that will work at the Reetz Ball Fields concession stand will have their Wisconsin Responsible
Beverage Service license.
Section 125.06(6)of the Wisconsin Statutes provides that employees of the municipality can sell fermented
malt beverages in parks when authorized by the legislative body. The resolution that is included for action
will provide us that authorization. This is the same process that the City utilized back in 2000 to authorize
City employees to sell fermented malt beverages at Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Lease Agreement that we had with the Boys&Girls Club Alumni included an annual payment to the City
of$1,000 or 10%of gross revenues,whichever was greater for the year. Payments generally ranged between
$1,000 and $2,000. We anticipate that we will be able to generate approximately$5,000 net with our staff
operating the concession stand.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Common Council adopt the resolution.
