Resolution 5898 Authorizing the Execution of the Contract for Catering and 285 Banquet Management Services Between the City of Mounds View and 286 Elegant Thymes 287 288 City Administrator Miller indicated that Council had directed Staff to work with the City 289 Attorney to provide a contract for review in this matter. She then explained that the contract that 290 is before Council combines the catering and management aspects and changes the method in 291 which payment is made in order to make things less confusing. She further explained that the 292 payment had been changed to a flat dollar amount and all references to gross or net revenues 293 have been removed from the contract. 294 295 City Attorney Riggs explained that the contract is a combination of the two agreements that 296 existed for catering and management of the facility providing a vast simplification of the 297 payments and minor revisions to a number of aspects to make the language consistent as well as 298 to simplify interpretation of the contract. 299 300 Council Member Stigney asked why this method would be better for the City. 301 302 City Attorney Riggs explained that this contract is better because it simplifies the payment 303 method. He also indicated that Staff discussed the incentive to generate revenue and there is a 304 clause requiring a meeting with Council to set a goal. 305 306 City Administrator Miller indicated it would simplify the administration of the contract and the 307 finance director felt that would be helpful. She also noted that MMKR’s audit had indicated that 308 the contract language was confusing and this contract would simplify the language. 309 310 Council Member Stigney commented that the contractor could do nothing and still get a flat rate. 311 312 City Attorney Riggs indicated the contract requires the contractor to meet with Council to set 313 objectives and the contract can be terminated if Council’s goals are not met. 314
