1996 Lake Ann Park Concessions/Boat Rental
As we wrap up the 1996 summer it is time to reflect. At times it looked like the revenues
from the Lake Ann Concession Stand and Boat Rental would be a record breaking year,
and other times we were sending staff home early because of slow sales. Since the
concession stand was opened, there has been a recurring problem with individuals
breaking in. Early April, before the security system was installed, a break-in occurred
resulting in nearly $1,000 worth of damage. This problem has been frustrating because
the losses from the vandalism is affecting our bottom line. However, after the security
system was operating, no break-ins occurre& The security system will continue to be
armed throughout the year, even though the operation has concluded for the season.
This summer, for the first time, I took a less active role in the day to day administration.
The manager, Kelly VanRiesen ordered all of the supplies, scheduled staff, and handled
all other day-to-day activities. This allowed me to devote more time to other duties and
responsibilities. I would recommend including these same responsibilities in the
concession manager's duties again next year.
