RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-06-09 | 3 | Commissioner Oliver stated that once you open it up for one vendor then you will receive multiple requests and soon you could have many vendors wanting to provide the service. Mr. Guerrero stated that this was an interim deal until Mr. Siden could get a permanent structure built on EBRPD land. AD Lillard stated that this was the first time he had heard of the idea. Mr. Guerrero stated that it would be somewhere, but not sure where. AD Lillard stated that EBRPD property starts at the dog park fence and goes toward the beach and Otis Drive. Mr. Guerrero stated that Mr. Siden stated that the project could possibly take a year or two, but he would like to have an interim spot. AD Lillard stated that this was the first time he had heard that this would be an interim spot until there is a permanent structure on the EBRPD property. Mr. Guerrero stated that Mr. Siden stated that they (EBRPD) would like to build a store similar to mud puppies operation but it would take a year or two to get the project rolling. Mr. Guerrero stated that another possible way to be in compliance would be to sell packaged peanuts. Chair Ingram asked if the vendor could just put it on the EBRPD property with the EBRPD District Board approval and not go to the Recreation Commission or City Council. AD Lillard stated that it is their property and their Board could agree to go into a concessionaire's agreement. But, Mr. Lillard believed that they would still have to go to the Planning and Building Department for the proper/appropriate use permits. Commissioner Johnson asked what time Mr. Ensminger would go to the Dog Park to do business. Mr. Ensminger stated that the ideal time for weekdays would be approximately 4:00 p.m. to dusk. AD Lillard asked if there would be early morning hours. Mr. Ensminger stated not during the weekdays. No one is there at that time. Chair Ingram stated that with the Long-Term Park Use Policy in the works, he felt that the Use Policy needed to be done first before approving any proposal. Commissioner Johnson asked if the Commission approves the proposal would the other vendors like Mr. Ensminger compete for the same thing. Commissioner Kahuanui stated that by accepting this proposal the Commission would be setting precedence and would have to have a procedure on how to choose a vendor, what kind of restrictions, etc. It throws the Commission into a whole new set of policies and procedures to determine which vendors come in and which ones do not. Susan Krala stated that she has looked around the island and has counted at least 15 vendors that do business on the side illegally as roach coaches. They are at Alameda Point, business parks, container ship areas, parks, etc. They are not licensed and do not pay taxes to this City and the powers that be of Alameda just decided that they would look the other way. 3 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
