OCT - BOOK 69 FACE 616 contract but will propose, with respect to similar matters in the future, that we have a standard contract document for everyone which follows a public solicitation for interest. Granted this gentleman is in a unique position because of his present location, but we want to avoid possible complications in the future with someone possibly coming in and asking why there had been no public notice. Commissioner Wheeler noted that he did not particularly want to wait until the future to develop policy as he did not want to set a precedent and then defend our actions as the policy is developed. This is our property and our responsibility, and he did not know that $100,000 is enough insurance. He also wanted staff's input on all the pros and cons involved with developing the policy. Administrator Balczun agreed there are a lot of dimensions to the issue. Commissioner Eggert noted that her family avails itself of these services quite often, but she nevertheless does have a problem with setting these services up on the beach without a policy because then where do we stop. Commissioner Bird felt we have to deal with these things as they arise and we are presented with requests. The P&R Committee's feeling has been that if what is proposed adds to recreation and the enjoyment of the people and is a way of generating some funds to help us pay for the operation of the beaches, they are basically in favor -of it. He noted we had a request for a hot dog stand some years ago and that was turned down. Commissioner Eggert believed different people enjoy different things, and she felt we need some written policy. -_ Commissioner Wheeler continued to emphasize that even before a policy is developed, he would like staff to come back with the pros and cons of this type activity in any of our county parks. 38 77 M
