Purpose of this special meeting was to interview CETA applicants for short term work in the
park this summer. Work would commence approximately May 1st and continue into the Fall,
lasting not later than October 31, 1976. The alternative to terminating short-term ~~eni
would be permanent hiring due to expanded needs of city maintenance department as a

proposal by Marlon Glines of Elk River for operation of the ballpark concession stand.

All applicants were scheduled for Board interview at half-hour intervals, and notices of
interviews were mailed. A request for appointment confirmation was made. Three of the five
applicants verified their appointments: Lawrence Johnson, Mike Costello, and Pete Hilyar.
One of the three, Pete Hilyar, failed to keep his appointment, Lawrence Johnson and Mike
Costello were"interviewed as scheduled.
Following the CETA interviews, Marlon Glines gave a proposal for operation of the concession
stand. He would include a fountain-style soft drink dispenser, a trial of tap beer dispen-
sing from kegs, plus snack foods and possibly hot dog sales. Mr. Glines suggested that one
reason for poor sales at the concession stand last year, operated by Brian Brindamour, was
high prices. This led to non-patronage and the bringing in of beer from other sources. Mr.
Glines would lower the prices to a more reasonable level to invite better sales. The above
suggestions were favorable to the Board. As to the division of profits, the Board proposed
a 50 percent split up to June 15, at which time the profits would be reviewed. If they met,
or exceeded, the first half profits of last year, the profit division would change to 40%
for the city and 60 % for Mr. Glines for the balance of the season. This proposal was
~avorable to Mr. Glines. The matter of concession stand control during any softball
tournaments was also discussed. It was mutually favorable that !vIr. Glines'1'lOu1.d. retain'
control of the stand for such special events, and was free to make arrangements for the
operation with the hosting league. The matter of any revenue being paid to the city for
special events was reserved and would be negotiated with the leagues by the Park Board.
Under the above conditions, the Board agreed to allow Marlon Glines operate the concession
stand. In addition, he will secure the beer license in the name of the Fast Pitch League
and was also granted permission to upgrade the security locks on the stand.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:40 PM.
