� CONCESSION
T Mr. George Hanson was present to reQuest that he be allowed to take ovsr our
concession stand at r�toore Lake Beach. He stated that he had a soft ice cream machine
wliich he felt would appeal to the kids at the beach. He said that he had three
teenage daughters who could run the concession stand.
Mr. Wagar said that he �aas not in favor or making a change at this time.
Mrs. Cald�ti�ell asked if the City would come out ahead by letting Mr. Hanson
take over the concession stand and taking a p2rcentage of his gross. It was felt
that this was feasible. Mr. Hanson stated that he felt that the City would get as
much money as it made last year, if not more.
r1r. Hanson mentioned putting in a trailer to handle more types of food, but the
Commission did not like the idea. They felt that the beach looks better without a
traiier being there.
Tl�e Commission felt that they did not mind Mr. Hanson stopping by with his
truck at perhaps a regular time, to sell his ice cream, etc., but that they did
not want to gzve up the running of the beach cencession at this time. This item
was put on the agenda for next month when hlessrs. Harris and Peterson will be able
to discuss it also.

H. A. F. SUNDAY SCI-IEDULING
Mr. Blair mentioned that we have been receiving letters from the pastors in
Fridley complaining about the scheduling of hockey on Sunday mornings. He explained
that this is being done by District #10. He said that the Hockey Association of
Fridley does not do this, and that the boys do not have to attend any practice on
Sundays, if they want to go to Church.
Mrs. Calciwell was�asked to obtain the name of the Coach who told a child that
he could not play in the games if he did not attend the Sunday morning practices.

practices.
