CITIZEN INPUT at 7:02 p.m. and Kelley Casey stated she is the Treasurer for the Ramsey Youth Athletic Association (RYAA) and had spoken with Mayor Gamec about starting a concession stand at Central Park. She stated they are interested in proceeding but understands that someone else applied for a concession license for Central Park. She noted that the RYAA is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all concession proceeds would go back into the program. Mayor Gamec explained that the RYAA spoke about erecting a building at Central Park to sell concessions but they could not get a building up so they talked about using the existing building. He explained he had indicated that would not be a problem as long as it was approved by the City Council. In the meantime, Deb Landwehr (Deb Concessions) submitted an application for a concession license, which was acted on at the last Council meeting as a consent agenda item. However, he was not aware that it was for Central Park. Mayor Gamec stated he asked the City Attorney to address the issue of having a for-profit concession operation and whether a for-profit business can operate from the City Hall or park property.
