CONCESSIONS COMMITTEE
1. Plan to improve football concessions: add window to face field, put up signs
menu, add fryer. Window has been completed, presently signs are being designed with an approximate price given of $1,000. Discussion included the need for signs at other concessions, as well. Signs to be made of weather resistant material that can be hung permanently, if desired.

2. Fryer needs to be explored further, as there are restrictions from Fire Marshal regarding this. Lisa, Bob and Gina will research/explore fryer issue.

Motion made by Mitch Wilson, seconded by Marcia Stewart. to approve up to $1,500 for signs for the stadium and to purchase fryer if it is affordable and approved by fire department was unanimously approved.

Indoor concessions suggestions supplied by Bob Cruse are on separate sheet dated 3/8/2004.

Concessions revenue: Sports clubs split for this year, based on profits over $25,000, which amounts to $1,470.25, is to be divided among the sports clubs. In a written recommendation, Mitch moved the following dispersion of profits from the concessions.

6.25.03 Minutes Concessions Item V – By June 30 of each year, it is the intention of the PPAB to provide each sports club that has worked their required concessions a share of the concession profits based on the number of athletes that completed participation during the sport’s season. Each sport club would be limited to a maximum of $2,000, regardless of the number of athletes that completed participation. Sport clubs failing to work assigned concessions become ineligible to receive funding. As recommended by Mitch Wilson, Co-Chair, Concessions Staffing: Based on the $25,000 as specified in Nov. 19 meeting that would be placed in the budget, this means $1,470.25 would be the PROFIT split between all sports clubs. With 1,169 having completed the sports seasons, my calculations would follow: $1,470.25 \ 1,169 = $1.26 due per athlete per sports club. When a formula is approved to disperse funds, remember GOLF did not show to work two of their four assigned events, so they should only receive 50% of their normal profit distribution.**

Joel Melin seconded the motion and the motion approved to disperse funds was approved unanimously. .
