Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Library Board and the Library staff have negotiated a contract with "Just Brewed" to
run a coffee cart concession on the premises of the Arcadia Public Library. This
business, which will be located on the Library's west patio, will offer a variety of
beverages and snacks for sale. In consideration for the space, the Library will receive
10% of the gross sales.
DISCUSSION
In April of 2009, Library staff was approached by Arcadia resident Nancy Houang about
the possibility of her running a coffee cart business at the Library. Many public libraries
have food and coffee concessions and Ms. Houang felt such an amenity would be much
appreciated by Library patrons. Ms. Houang conducted a Library Board approved
survey in late 2009 which showed a very positive response to the possibility of this
service.
Since then, staff has negotiated a detailed contract which, among other things,
stipulates that "Just Brewed" will pay for all necessary electrical work and other
improvements, as well as for the electricity to run the self- contained coffee cart.
Arrangements have also been made in keeping with the Library Board's requirements
that no Library staff time be involved in the day to day operation of the coffee cart. The
coffee cart will be located on the Library's west patio. The Library Board's policy of not
permitting food and drink inside the Library will remain unchanged.

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved of the contract. At their April 15, 2010
meeting, the Library Board also approved the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In consideration for the space, the Library will receive 10% of the gross sales.
Estimates are that the Library may receive as much as $5,000 in the first year of
business.
