MEMORANDUM

TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gil D. Spence, Leisure Services Manager
SUBJECT: Miller-Riverview Park management agreement
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to ask for City Council approval of the
management agreement for Miller-Riverview Park with Pat Felderman.
DISCUSSION
This agreement formalizes the working relationship we have for management of the
campground operation. It clearly states what is expected from Pat Felderman and
from the City, and works out very well for both parties. Pay to Felderman is based
on the number of camping units served, so that the City is assured it will not lose
money on the operation of the campground.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the management agreement for
Miller-Riverview Park with Pat Felderman, and authorize the City Manager to sign it.
ACTION STEP
The action requested is for the City Council to approve the management agreement
for Miller-Riverview Park with Pat Felderman and to authorize the City Manager to
sign it.
