CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: November 18, 2019
AGENDA ITEM:Consideration of approval of a resolution approving Amusement Ride and
Concession Agreement
FORMAT:Consent Agenda
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Over the last two months Parks and Recreation Staff have
been soliciting carnivals for the 2020 4th of July Festival. Staff has been in contact with the carnival
Spectacular Amusements that provided services to Coralville Iowa last year. Staff called Coralville
and was given good reviews of their services and how they were to work with. City of Waukee Parks
and Recreation Staff, City Fire Marshal Justin Frederick, and Building Official Keith Rash had a
conference call with the owners of the carnival in early October. City staff felt comfortable with the
Spectacular’s knowledge of safety protocol and inspections. Spectacular did not have any concerns
with any of the inspections that were outlined to them via the two City of Waukee Inspectors.
The price difference between the two carnivals is significant. Last year the City of Waukee had to
provide a guarantee of $10,000 and then received %15 of the sales after the $10,000. The 2020
Carnival is a guarantee of $26,000 and then %20 percent of the sales over $26,000. The 2019 Carnival
claimed that the total of last year’s sales was just shy of $21,000. If the 2020 event brought in the
same amount of revenue as last year the City would have a deficit of $5,000. Due to 2020 4th of July
being on a Saturday it is anticipated that the Carnival would run from Noon -10:30 BOTH Friday and
Saturday allowing additional time to increase the revenue.
The contract under consideration is a contract that was prepared by our City Attorney and agreed to by
Spectacular. Contract negotiations were much smoother this year.
