4b. RESOLUTION NO. 2012-03 AUTHORIZING THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE
FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT AGEEMENT WITH FLIK
INTERNATIONAL CORP
Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services Jim Glasoe introduced the item,
discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed resolution to amend the agreement
with Flik International Corp for food service management at the Earle Brown Heritage Center.
He advised the agreement includes a reduction by 2% in 2012, 3% in 2013, 4% in 2014, and
mutual agreement for years thereafter. Flik has also agreed to provide a $5,000 annual payment
as a goodwill signing bonus.
Commissioner Ryan noted that as a result of the percentage reductions in food costs, if current
charges for food served are retained, a better net on sales can be anticipated. Mr. Glasoe stated
that is correct and the figures he quoted from the staff report were based on year-end 2010.
Commissioner Lasman stated her support for the amendment since it includes cost reductions
and acknowledges the competition factor, making the agreement more palatable.
Commissioner Myszkowski asked if the reductions would be passed on to the customers
purchasing food. Mr. Glasoe stated that remains to be determined since the dimension of the
reduction is not yet known and while it may not be directly passed on to the consumer, could
result in not having an increase.
Mr. Boganey explained that each year staff goes through a review process of the menus, costs
and charges to customers, and compares that data with competing venues. He explained the City
wants to keep costs below competitors, when possible, to generate additional sales while
assuring the bottom line margin is sufficient to generate a profit.
Commissioner Ryan moved and Commissioner Myszkowski seconded adoption of
RESOLUTION NO. 2012-03 Authorizing Third Amendment of the Food Service Management
Agreement with Flik International Corp.
Motion passed unanimously.
5. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Lasman moved and Commissioner Kleven seconded adjournment of the
