committee reviewed the concession application for Aqua Bikes in City Parks. The discussed the
concession proposal and location options for the concession and felt strongly that the limited public
waterfront property was in -adequate for a concession of this size given the footprint of the equipment.
The committee's recommended the following: (1) An examination of the cities plans and design for
waterfront improvements North of the Marina and determine if such a concession could be worked into
this design. (B) Would like to see a feasibility study of the potential revenue in comparison to the
potential impacts to other user groups. (C) Review other possible locations on either public or private
waterfront properties such as the State Park, Church Camps, Resort Properties. Terry Edvalson made
the motion that the Cities waterfront properties where not adequate to accommodate the storage of
the aqua bikes at this time and reflected the above mentioned as a recommendation from the
committee. Forrest second the motion and all were in favor.

beneficial to the community and recommended their full support of the event and proposal. The

they where proposing for the event.
