AGENDA ITEM:Consideration of approval of a resolution approving Amusement Ride and
Concession Agreement with Spectacular Amusements, Inc.
FORMAT:Resolution
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: City Staff has been working with Spectacular
Amusements Inc. since July 2020. Spectacular Amusements was supposed to provide the mechanical
rides for the 2020 4th of July event that was cancelled due to COVID-19. The new contract is a three
year contract to provide mechanical ride services for 2021, 2022, and 2023. The City will pay
Spectacular a non-refundable security deposit of $10,000 to guarantee arrival and performance by
Spectacular.
The City guarantees to SPECTACULAR the event will result in $21,000 in gross ticket sales for
amusement rides for the events held in 2021 and 2022. The City guarantees to SPECTACULAR the
event will result in $26,000 in gross ticket sales for amusement rides for the event held in 2023. If the
guarantee is not reached in ticket sales, the City will pay the difference to SPECTACULAR upon the
conclusion of the event, less the amount paid to SPECTACULAR in the form of the security deposit.
If gross ticket sales exceed $26,000, SPECTACULAR agrees to pay 20% of the gross ticket sales
exceeding $26,000.00 from amusement rides to the City upon the conclusion of the event in addition
to refunding the security deposit paid by the City. The City agrees that SPECTACULAR may retain
revenues non-amusement rides including its concessions and games that it operates.
The new contract also addresses Termination/Event Cancellation in the event that a federal, state, or
local governmental declaration of emergency, public health emergency, or public danger exists.
The City has the right to terminate this agreement, without cause, by giving notice to Spectacular on or
before each October 1st.
