Page 4 of 4 <br />It should also be noted that this proposed agreement does not include a preferred caterer “opt out” 110 <br />for cultural dietary considerations without a fee. With our previous vendor, staff found that the 111 <br />cultural opt out was overused by renters and put staff in the difficult position of determining what 112 <br />was a legitimate cultural accommodation or simply someone who did not want to use the mandated 113 <br />catering vendor. Under the currently proposed agreement, such groups could still “opt out” by 114 <br />paying the non-preferred caterer fee. 115 <br />In observation of this possible concern, an individual with a legitimate cultural concern may submit 116 <br />a timely written appeal to the Parks and Recreation Director for consideration of waiving the non-117 <br />preferred caterer fee for a narrowly tailored cultural need and financial hardship. The Parks and 118 <br />Recreation Director will have the discretion to waive the fee for cultural considerations for up to five 119 <br />events per year, however, it is the intention of staff to use this authority sparingly, if at all. 120 <br />An additional consideration for equity could be price point and access. The proposed agreement 121 <br />seeks to keep the price point as low as is reasonably possible for daily users and facility renters, 122 <br />while fulfilling the vision of a third party vendor. 123 <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION 124 <br />Authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Burro Loco to provide kitchen/grill service at the 125 <br />Cedarholm Community Building, pending final legal review. 126 <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION 127 <br />Consider a motion to authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Burro Loco to provide 128 <br />kitchen/grill service at the Cedarholm Community Building, pending final legal review. 129 <br />Prepared by: Matthew Johnson, Parks and Recreation Director 130 <br />Attachments: A: Planned Initial Menu 131 <br /> B: Original Proposal Submitted by Burro Loco 132 <br /> C: Community Focus Group Scoring Summary 133 <br /> D: Draft Agreement 134 <br /> E: Presentation 135 <br /> 136
