The current concession contract is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2005. Since the inception of their contract the Witt family has provided reasonable service for patrons of the pier. Harris County is also entered into a contract with Linda Witt for operation of the Bait Camp also located at Sylvan Beach Park. It would be extremely difficult to separate the Bait Camp and Concession operations at the Sylvan Beach Fishing Pier simply because of the logistics involved. Under tenns of the our Agreement, the Witts pay electrical costs for lighting at the pier, and also pay for the coastal lease agreement out of their 1/3 share of the revenues generated. As before, the other 2/3 shares of revenue generation (I/3 City and 1/3 County shares) go into the escrow fund for repair of catastrophic damage to the pier. Except for the length of tenn, the base concession agreement proposed has no major changes from the current Agreement. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Concession Agreement. Action Required bv Council: Consder approval of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Linda Darnell Witt for operation ofthe Sylvan Beach Fishing Pier Concession for a one year term with options for three additional one year terms. / () - s- -0..5- Date
