Commissioner Daly stated that Powdr Corporation, the ski operator at Mt.
Bachelor, wants to put in a water park at the Fairgrounds, and would like to
keep the concessions. The existing concession agreement has six more years
to go, and the concessionaire will give up the water park portion if the
agreement is extended for another ten years, and the Fairgrounds will provide
specific improvements.
The Fair Board voted to allow Dan Despotopulos to proceed, but
Commissioner Daly objected, indicating that sixteen years is too long to have
a contract in place. Commissioner Luke asked if the Fair Board has the
authority to authorize that lengthy of a contract. Mark Pilliod stated he would
investigate it.
Commissioner DeWolf added that he would like clarification on the benefits
that would be gained from having the water park.
Commissioner Daly said that the concessions situation should be analyzed.
Commissioner Luke stated he would talk about it with Mr. Despotopulos.
