MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MAY 26, 1993 <br />charities would be subleasing the concessions and <br />gaining additional revenue from that, the picture is <br />even better. <br />Betty Strohbeen reported that Lake Owasso was paying <br />close to $400 per session and are still in compliance <br />by $113,000. Strohbeen reported that other <br />organizations were paying about $70 per session less <br />than Lake Owasso. <br />Short stated that if the City determines a 12,000 <br />square foot ceiling for the bingo hall, a$300 per <br />session rent would be the maximum. Short reported that <br />it has been Mover's Warehouse position that although <br />the bingo hall is a four-walled building, they would <br />figure out what to do with the square footage in excess <br />of 12,000. However, all the organizations would have <br />to agree to a uniform square footage and 10,000 square <br />feet could not be rented out on Monday evenings, for <br />example, and a different amount rented out on another <br />evening. <br />Matson reported that he and Short have sat down and <br />looked at ways to cut costs, but no firm proposals came <br />out of those discussions. Matson reported that there <br />needs to be a consensus of all the organizations, or <br />cost-cutting measures will not work. <br />Betty Matson pointed out the length of the hall and the <br />fact that even when attendance is low, a certain number <br />of staff are needed just to service the people spread <br />throughout the hall. <br />Matson reported that there are nights when there are 5 <br />people in the no smoking room, but that room must still <br />be staffed to service those people. <br />Short reported that over the summer attendance will be <br />down at the hall, but there are also very high <br />attendance days when there are 400 people at the hall <br />and the organizations make a lot of money. <br />LaValle asked the square footage of the concession area <br />at LCBH. <br />Joe Vitale replied that the concessions have been <br />expanded from 420 square feet to about 700. <br />Pedersen suggested that there was a market rate for <br />building rental plus services and asked what that rate <br />amounted to based on number of sessions at the hall. <br />Short estimated the base market rate at $6.00 to $10.50 <br />Page 6 <br />
