DATE OF REPORT: April 1, 2011
REPORT NO.:
FCS-11-072
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR THE SALE OF FOOD AND SOUVENIRS
AT ALL TOURNAMENTS ON CITY SPORTS FIELDS
RECOMMENDATION:
That approval be granted to sports organizations that are holding tournaments, during
the months May through November 2011 and have received Field Rental
Permits/Contracts from Community Services at the sports fields listed on Schedule ‘A’
attached to Corporate Services Department Report FCS-11-072 to run a concession
which may include the sale of hamburgers, hot dogs, pop, water, packaged foods, etc. as
well as souvenirs, provided the necessary licence, including Health and Fire approvals is
obtained.
BACKGROUND:
Council Policy requires Council’s approval prior to a licence being issued to allow sales to take
place on City property. Traditionally, each sports organization has been required to obtain
Council approval each time that they held a tournament at City sports fields and wished to sell
food or souvenirs. In 2010 Council passed one resolution that covered the entire sumer and fall
sports tournament season.
REPORT:
Many sports organizations wish to raise money through operation of a concession stand to
cover tournament expenses. In 2010 in order to simplify the process, one resolution of Council
was passed to cover the entire summer and fall sports tournament season. Staff found that this
process worked much more efficiently and allowed the organizations involved to obtain the
licences in a more timely fashion ensuring compliance with the Municipal Code.
