. the lack of flexibility in using the kitchen space and equipment. <br />. the inability to choose a particular food service because of the exclusivity <br />clause. <br />. not being able to service programs such as potlucks. <br />. the pricing structure of the contracted caterer. <br />The proposed change in policy and the existing contract is being proposed with mutual <br />agreement of Suzanne's Cuisine. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />The proposal to modify the current policy is consistent with the original concept plans for <br />the Skating Center catering operations and the project goals of providing quality spaces <br />and services and the policy of providing the most accessibility by citizens to City facilities at <br />the most affordable rates possible. <br />FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS <br />The proposed change would eliminate any percentage in catering operations for food <br />but would instead provide a direct fixed charge as per the attached rate schedule. The <br />current contract with Suzanne's Cuisine for the provision of liquor would continue until <br />modified or eliminated in the future. That contract specifies that the RSC will receive <br />15% of all beverage gross revenues from all events where beverages are served by <br />Suzanne's Cuisine. It is anticipated that net revenues for the catering operation will <br />increase because it is expected that overall rentals will increase without the catering <br />restrictions. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the policy of providing quality spaces and services and the policy of providing <br />the most accessibility by citizens to City facilities at the most affordable rates possible, <br />staff recommends that the City Council modify the current policy for catering services to <br />allow all qualified caterers to provide food service at the RSC and to allow Suzanne's <br />Cuisine and the City to mutually cancel that portion of the current contract for food <br />service at the Roseville Skating Center. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion authorizing the modification of the current policy for catering services to allow all <br />qualified caterers to provide food service at the RSC and to allow Suzanne's Cuisine <br />and the City to mutually cancel that portion of the current contract for food service at the <br />Roseville Skating Center. <br />E <br />
