2020 Anniversary Carnival Contract: Snyder Amusements

end

 

Suggested Action:

recommendation

I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to negotiate a contract with Snyder Amusements to provide carnival services for the 2020 City Anniversary Carnival, upon the review and approval of the City Attorney for legal sufficiency.

end

 

Summary Background:

The City’s 134th Anniversary will be celebrated this spring and staff seeks authorization to contract with Snyder Amusements for carnival services, including rides, games, and food vendors. This is the same company the City worked with last year and they provided a high-quality carnival. The company has offered the same contract terms as the City has received in past years.

The City does not pay for carnival services. Rather the carnival company compensates the City for the opportunity. For accounting purposes, we will record all the revenue generated at the Carnival, as well as the percentage retained by the City.

The City earns the following:

* 20% of ride gross for ticket sales

* 10% of sales from food stands

* $25 per game booth

 

Next Steps:

Authorization to negotiate an agreement with Snyder Amusements.

Fiscal Impact:

N/A

 

City Administrator Comments:

Recommend Approval.

 

Community Engagement:

The City Carnival is scheduled for April 23-26.

 

Strategic Goals:

Goal 3 - Promote a Safe and Vibrant Community
