CONCESSION STAND. Brian Brlndamour gave a report on the operation of the concession stand. Net income 1st half of season was $653.76 and Park Board's share under 50-50 . . . . .. ... .. I split agreement is $326.88. Net income 2nd half of season was $268.72 and Park Boards spare under 60-40 split is $107.48. Total Park Board share is $434.36, plus we inherited a bad check for $5.00. Main reason for poor income during last half of the season is that two softball tournaments were cancelled; one sponsored by the Fast Pitch League and on sponsored by the Slow Pitch League. There is some stock left over; two cases of Coca-Gola and twenty- four packages of weiner buns. Stock is not. returnable to the supplier, so it will be donated to the Youth Hockey- Association for their concession stand at the ice arena. Brian Brlndamour is not interested in rumrl.ng the concession stand next y-ear unless the scheduling of games is changed to lIavGthe big spenders (Fast Pitch League) pLAY their games at the Fairgrounds Field. A check was submitted to the Park Board in the amount of $434.36 for its share of the concession stand profits. 1976 BUDGET.
