NEW BUSINESS
Review RFP and P3 For-Profit Use of Public Parks
Director Kroeger reviewed the Staff Memo that was provided to the Committee Members prior to
the meeting along with GFOA Supporting Documents, a RFP Currently Used by the City, a RFP
from Fitchburg for Private For-Profit Use, a RFP Example For-Private Use and a P3 Agreement.
He stated there would be three separate areas to rent at Idle Isle including the new hexagon
pavilion to be constructed this year near the fishing pier.
Alderperson Kubacki stated this all comes down to what, if anything should be done at Idle Isle.
Director Kroeger next discussed what Fitchburg experienced when it put out a RFP for Private
For-Profit Use. Alderperson Kubacki stated he initially was excited about the proposal;
however, there are numerous concerns about the location. Alderperson Engelhardt suggested
a temporary operation, such as a food truck. Alderperson Hammel expressed concern about
the logistics of the proposed concept. The limited parking at Idle Isle is one of the biggest
issues. Getting public input was also suggested.
Mayor Chiaverotti asked the Committee not to rush in making a determination. She continues
to support a RFP being done prior to obtaining public input. Several Committee Members were
interested in moving forward. It was determined that the Committee would discuss possible
survey questions at its next meeting in order to build a RFP.
