Food and Beverage Operations Recommendations:
1. FY 2015 Budget Resolution — Self Operations for Red Oaks Waterpark, Waterford Oaks Waterpark,
Groveland Oaks Park
Moved by Mr. McGillivray, supported by Mr. Kostin to adopt the following resolution for the creation of new
budgets and new positions for the self -operation of Parks Concession Operations at Groveland Oaks,
Waterford Oaks and Red Oaks as presented, and refer it to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
for final approval:
FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICES POSITION CREATIONS AND TRANSFERS
WHEREAS Oakland County Parks & Recreation strives to be recognized as a "World Class" park system
that provides quality services in all areas; and
WHEREAS In the fall of 2013, Oakland County Parks & Recreation received notice that Kosch Catering
would be exercising their right to terminate the operations for concessions with the required 365 day notice;
and
WHEREAS the Parks and Recreation Commission's Food & Beverage Committee decided to prepare and
issue an RFP for contracting a food and beverage consultant to assist with the evaluation of all park
operations that provide food and beverage service; and.
WHEREAS Global Management Amusement Professionals was chosen as that vendor and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Parks & Recreation retained Global Management Amusement
Professionals to assist in developing a first-class food and beverage operations at the golf courses,
campgrounds and waterparks; and
(Commission Meeting, September 3, 2014)
WHEREAS consultants and staff spent a number of days visiting, observing, and evaluating the food and
beverage operations at all Parks & Recreation locations and have recommended to the Food & Beverage
Committee to move to self -operation of the concessions at Groveland Oaks Campground, Red Oaks
Waterpark and Waterford Oaks Waterpark; and
WHEREAS the BUSINESS reasons for this recommendation are:
• Very limited number of bid responses have been received in the past
• Previous vendors were not focused on providing the best customer service and food quality, given that
their primary focus was on banquet operations, causing damage to the customer experience and image
that Parks is left to repair.
• Oakland County Parks historically has only received a small amount of commission revenue from this
operation and has not been able to cover costs of providing food and beverage, with this plan we
believe we can fully cover our costs and help offset some the expenses from operating the rest of each
park.
• An investment is needed in each facility to modernize them and allow for a better customer experience,
many facilities have not been updated since they were originally built 25-30 years ago.
• With the help of experts in the field, Parks will be able to at least break even or return a respectful net
of revenue over expenses after getting established while also providing a better experience for the
guests and;
WHEREAS in order to successfully track the success and transition from a 3rd party operator to self -
operations, Oakland County Parks & Recreation is recommending the creation of three (3) new budget
centers for all related revenues and expenditures relative to concession operations; and
WHEREAS within these new budget centers, positions will be created and transferred to allow for the
tracking of labor costs as shown below; and.
5060420 P & R Groveland Oaks Park Concessions GRC
5060431 P & R Red Oaks Waterpark Concessions RWC
5060437 P & R Waterford Waterpark Concessions WWC
WHEREAS this reorganization creates and realigns positions to meet the requirements of this new food
and beverage services plan; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission hereby
recommends the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the Parks & Recreation Department
position creations and transfers as shown below:
1. To create three (3) new budget centers for all revenues and expenditures related to
concession operations including staffing:
