REPORT NO.:
CRPS-09-045
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, 2009 and have received Field Rental Permits/Contracts from
Community Services at the sports fields listed on Schedule ‘A’ attached to Corporate Services
Department Report CRPS-09-045; 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 2008 Council passed one resolution that covered the entire summer and
fall sports tournament season.
REPORT:
Many sports organizations wish to raise money through operation of a concession stand to
cover tournament expenses. In 2008 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 their
licences in a more timely fashion ensuring compliance with the Municipal Code.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
