Mr. Arndt stated, I have a quick question. I see there are two $250.00 payments. Does that cover the cost of utilities? Coming from that industry before, you usually rent out kitchens to chefs and cooks. Mr. McAvinew replied, they are picking up the cost of the license this year. We have paid the cost in the past. When I first came on board in 2018, concession was loosing $10,000-15,000 a year. The best we could get back was $1,000 plus or minus at best. This basically takes all that cost away from the facility. We don't have any costs that come in. They give us $500 to operate it. We are not losing thousands of dollars either. Mr. Arndt stated, I just think we may be shortchanging ourselves a little bit. The cost of renting something out like that, you can probably get a couple thousand from somebody else if not more. Mr. McAvinew stated, very few people, and I will use Mayfield Heights as an example, they couldn't find anyone to rent it. They also use Pizzazz. Highland Heights does too. We all have a similar contract. There's just not a lot of people out there who want to rent a pool concession to try to make money off of it. I tried to make money on it. After five years, it wasn't anything more than a big headache.
