AGENDA ITEMS
1. OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION – REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO
ENTER INTO A LICENSE AGREEMENT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH
KATHERINE’S CATERING FOR FOOD AN D BEVERAGE SERVICES
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission (OCPRC) is seeking approval of a license
agreement between Oakland County and Katherine’s Catering for food and beverage services at Lyon
Oaks and White Lake Oaks for a five-year term, starting January 1, 2016. The agreement also allows for
two five-year extensions to be granted at the recommendation of the OCPRC and approval by the Board of
Commissioners. The agreement is structured to have the utility costs reimbursed to the County on a
quarterly basis, an annual equi pment fee to help pay for equipment repairs and replacements , as well as a
3% commission on the sales . The OCPRC has tried bidding out food and beverage services for Lyon Oaks
and White Lake Oaks multiple times within t he past three years, resulting in bids that were not favorable to
the County. Mr. Castonia noted that he believes Katherine’s Catering offers the best financial and service
package for these facilities.
