1. Request from Sportservice to Increase the Price Charged for Drinks
MEMORANDUM

FROM: LELAND J. ANDERSEN -'COMMUNITY SERVICES MANAGER "%~"/
SUBJECT: PRICE INCREASES (LIQUOR & PARKING) AT THE CONVENTION
CENTER
At the Citizen's Convention Center Committee meeting on Tuesday,
December 10, 1991, two price increase items were discussed.
The firSt item was in regard to a proposed increase for alcoholic
beverages sold by Sportservice at the Convention Center.
Sportservice cited the reasons for the increase in drink prices
in their letter to you dated November 13, 1991, which I have
attached. The Committee conducted an open discussion on this
matter and felt that the increases were justified and supported
the proposal..The Committee's support was based on the fact that
Sportservice has not raised their drink prices in the four years
since they signed the contract with the City even though
additional taxes and distributor increases on alcoholic
beverages have occurred.
The second item discussed was in regard to a proposed increase
in the fee for parking in the Convention Center parking lot. The
proposed increase would be to raise the fee from one dollar
($1.00) to two dollars ($2.00) per car, per entry. Also the
option to purchase the lot by organizations holding special
events would increase from two hundred fifty ($250) to three
hundred ($300) per day. The current rates have been in effect
since December, 1980.
After a short discussion, the committee agreed that there would
be no detrimental impact on the community due to the increases
and supported the proposal. It is suggested the rate increase
.for parking become effective July 1, 1992, and that an
additional increase be considered in two years.
If you have any questions in regard to either of these items,
please contact me at your convenience.
