3. CARNIVALS IN PARKS
Staff gave a brief presentation on the history of carnivals in parks and the action City Council
took on March 17,2003 to award the contracts to Acosta and Associates and to "0"
Enterprises. Discussion focused on possible changes in the agreement, attendance,
neighborhood impacts and the promoter's performance.
ACTION ITEM: I) ModifY agreement and/or provide strict enforcement for
carnivals to have the site cleaned for the day following the end of
the carnival.
2) Follow up with the Madison Park Neighborhood to ensure that
they are okay with having carnivals conducted at Madison Park.
4. RFP ON THE FOOD CONCESSION FOR THE STADIUM AND DAN YOUNG
~ SOCCER COMPLEX
Staff presented the current status of the Request of Proposal to retain a food concessionaire to
provide food and beverage services at the Santa Ana Stadium and the Dan Young Soccer
Complex. The Santa Ana Stadium has a permanent concession stand to dispense food and
beverage. Since the Dan Young Soccer Complex does not have a concession facility and the
foodlbeverage would have to be served through a vending truck, it may be difficult to obtain
a concessionaire that has the ability to provide the two types of service. Therefore, staff is
recommending the RFP's be separated to provide foodlbeverage services through two
methods.
50 SANTA ANA STADIUM PROGRAM
Approximately 131 events are conducted at the stadium each year, generating $66,040 of
revenue to the city. Of the total number of events there are 31 football events, 24 soccer
events, seven city promoted events and other miscellaneous events including graduations,
church masses, cheerleading, and band competitions. Because ofthe tremendous use and
wear, discussion focused on the improvements needed at the stadium. The 1988 Santa Ana
