Commission approves Lakeside Recreation concession, ups commission to 6%

The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners approved a concession agreement with Lakeside Recreation LLC for paddle-board and paddle-boat rentals at a county-managed facility. Staff introduced the contract and recommended adjusting the concession commission from 5% to 6% to reflect higher-than-expected vendor volume and to simplify payment on a quarterly basis.

During the item, staff noted the vendor provides services at the boat-dock area with no charge for certain community benefits (for example, helping with dock maintenance). A commissioner moved to approve the concession contract between Jefferson County and Lakeside Recreation LLC; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.

Staff said the change in the commission percentage is intended to match vendor volume and administrative timing; commissioners asked staff to finalize contract language and confirm quarterly payment mechanics before the vendor begins operations for the season.
