So that you have some background for the discussion at the coming P &R <br /> meeting. <br /> Last week Dallas sent out a note that the City of Mendota Heights had a large popcorn maker up for auction. I <br /> called their Parks and Recreation Staff and got the following information. <br /> 1) The large machine is in good condition and working order. <br /> 2) it is about 12 years old. <br /> 3) they are selling this equipment because they no longer operate a concession stand. I got the impression that <br /> they have not operated a concession stand for several years. <br /> 4) there are 4 bids currently on the larger popcorn machine. I do not know the value of those bids. <br /> 5) the auction is open until Feb. 14th <br /> The question for the committee is do we want to bid on this popcorn machine or buy a new one. To get a new <br /> machine like the one we borrow from Chris will cost between $400 and $500 dollars. To get this machine, I <br /> would guess that we would have to pay over $100 <br /> While we are never flush with money, we have the funds available in 2014 to buy a new machine if that is the <br /> committee's decision. <br /> Dallas' Note <br /> I heard that Park and Rec was thinking they should have another popcorn popper. The City of Mendota Heights is selling <br /> two of them. The larger one may be a good addition, and maybe you can buy it right. They are selling them on bids, with <br /> a minimum bid of $25. The larger one is shown thus: http: // static. foodservicewarehouse .com /PDFs /GoldMedal 2007.pdf <br /> Following is the ad: <br /> CONCESSIONS.
