RESOLUTION NO. 2012-02 OPTING NOT TO WAIVE TORT LIABILITY FOR 2012 Executive Director Curt Boganey introduced the item and stated the purpose of the proposed resolution to not waive tort liability for 2012. Commissioner Ryan moved and Commissioner Lasman seconded adoption of RESOLUTION NO. 2012-02 Opting Not to Waive Tort Liability for 2012. Motion passed unanimously. 02/13/12 -1- 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 Economic Development Authority meeting at 10:17 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 02/13/12 -2- STATE OF MINNESOTA) COUNTY OF HENNEPIN) ss.
