Walter <br />St., South Bend, Indiana for its regular meeting. Notice of the date, time and place of the meeting <br />were duly given as required by law. <br /> <br />Park Board members present were as follows: <br />Mr. Robert Henry, President <br />Mr. Robert Goodrich, Vice President <br />Dr. Thomas Kelly <br />Mr. Garrett Mullins <br /> <br />Park Board members absent were as follows: <br /> None <br /> <br />Staff members present: Phil St. Clair, Superintendent; Bill Carleton, Betsy Harriman, <br />Administrative Director; Fiscal Officer; Paul McMinn, Assistant Recreation Director; Terry <br />DeRosa, Zoo Director; Richard Payton, Development Director; Mike Dyszkiewicz, Maintenance <br />Superintendent; Thomas Bodnar, Park Board Attorney <br /> <br /> <br />I.The meeting was called to order by Board President Robert Henry at 4:05 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />II.The first order of business was the interviewing of interested citizens. <br /> <br /> <br />1.Report by South Bend Baseball Club, LLC <br />Mr. Terry Coleman of the South Bend Silver Hawks reported that attendance is up 25% <br />from last year at this time, despite four rain outs. This is attributed to the promotions that <br />they are having. <br /> <br />2.Concession Vendors <br />Mr. Michael Bueno translated for some vendors that wished to sell food concessions in the <br />parks at soccer and baseball games. They were unaware that they could not sell in City <br />parks without Park Board approval. They had business licenses and health permits, but <br />were unaware of the ordinances concerning selling in parks. <br />Director St. Clair requested that the Board approve a request to set fees for vendors to <br />sell in specific parks on specified days. He hoped this would help offset the budget cuts in <br />playground programs for next year and control the selling and consumption of alcohol in <br />these parks. <br />Mr. Goodrich made a motion to require all vendors in City Parks to have a concessions <br />contract. Small vendors will be charged $25 per contract and large vendors will be <br />charged $100 per contract. Details will be determined by staff. This will be effective as of <br />today. <br />Dr. Kelly seconded the motion and it was passed. <br /> - - 1 - - <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
