Redding, 'Calif, ' . Attention: Bob Duggan, President Dear Bob: At the last regular meeting of the City Council the matter of the procedure for handling the refreshment concession at Lake Redding ;��L, Plunge was referred to the Legal Department. After thorough dis- cussion, and study, by the Legal Department and the City Manager it is our conclusion that the Em�loyees' Association should have the right to operate the concession rent free for a period of two years. This would enable the Association to recover the value of the work that they are contributing towards construction of the concession building• Following the end of the two year period some suitable arrangement • should be worked out wherein the City would derive a reasonable rent•al fee from the Association, and still enable the Association to derive a reasonable profit from its operatione It is understood that the concession building will be constructed according to plans submitted, and that the building is to become the property of the City imm�diately upon its construction. I believe that the above arrangement will give you an opportunity to get your feet on the ground with the concession, and that at the end of the two year period some equitable arrangement can be worked out. If this m�ets with your approval please so indicate by signing the original of this letter and returning it to the office, retaining one copy for your � - files. Very truly yours, / E. N. Ness, Assistant City Attorney r,� 70 MOTION: Made by Councilman Kelly, seconded by Councilman Simons that letter of intent, dated April 7th, 1958, to t�e Redding City Employees' Association and signed by L.
