Respectfully submitted, Kellie McMullen, Transcribing Secretary Page 1 of 1 CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Parks and Recreation Board To: Parks and Conservation Committee From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director Subject: Beer Garden at Veterans Memorial Park Date: August 15, 2017 Due to the success of beer gardens throughout Southeastern Wisconsin and the request of several Muskego residents, the City of Muskego would recommend holding a pop-up beer garden at Veterans Memorial Park on Friday September 29, 2017 from 4 pm to 9 pm and Saturday September 30, 2017 from 3 pm to 9 pm. Beer gardens have become a very successful way to provide a unique family experience while offering a new revenue source for parks. Veterans Memorial Park is an ideal location for this event. The park has plenty of parking, a playground set, restroom facilities, lights, seating, and pavilion. A local outside vendor would be providing and running the beer garden at Veterans Memorial Park. The City of Muskego would collect a percent of all sales. There is no upfront cost to the City of Muskego. This beer garden would be a trial run for the City of Muskego. Depending on its success the City of Muskego might consider a more permanent beer garden plan for 2018. Recommendation for Action by the Committee: Approve the recommendation to host a pop-up beer garden at Veterans Memorial Park on Friday September 29, 2017 from 4 pm to 9 pm and Saturday September 30, 2017 from 3 pm to 9 pm.
