433 <br />Resolution No. 99 -013, accepting and letting the bid of Cherry Gillie, d.b.a. Gillie's <br />Concessions, for the lease of the concession stand at Wise Field in the amount of <br />$300.00 per month during the four (4) month athletic season, and authorizing and <br />directing the Mayor, Charles H. Neeley to execute on behalf of the City of Paris, the <br />Lease Agreement with Cherry Gillie, d. b. a. Gillie's Concessions was presented. <br />Terry Townsend, Director of Parks and Recreation, came forward telling the City <br />Council that this has never been done before to his knowledge and he felt that there <br />was a need that the City of Paris received some benefits from the concession stand <br />at Wise Field. Mr. Townsend said that Sherry McFadden had been running the <br />concession stand. She did not pay any fees or utilities nor furnish proof of liability <br />insurance to the City. Mr. Townsend said Ms. McFadden was given the opportunity <br />to bid on the lease, but she decided not to submit a bid. Mr. Townsend advised that <br />there were organizations such as the YWCA and the Boy's Club that actually <br />contacted him showing interest in the concession stand, but they did not submit a <br />bid. <br />After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Clifford for approval o f the <br />resolution. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boyd, and carried 4 ayes, 3 <br />nays, Councilwoman Fisher, Mayor Neeley, and Mayor Pro Tern Thomas voting no. <br />
