Re: Carnival Rides for May Day

Attached is a copy of a Draft Agreement from West Coast Amusement
Limited to operate the rides for the 1980 May Day Celebrations. We have
contracted with West Coast in the past, however for the last two or three
years we have used Wagner Shows. Wagner were not availabie this year for
the particular days that the May Day Committee have set.

We have reviewed the contract and it would appear to be adequate.
The only major difference is that in the past Wagner Shows have
contributed $400.00 to the May Day Committee to cover trophies in lieu
of paying a business licence. This arrangement had been in effeet for
a number of years with the May Day Committee. This particular contract
has a provision for the contractor paying the City a business licence
and he is leaving it up to the City to sort this out with the May Day
Committee. In this regard as it has been the practice in the past to .
have this equivalent sum paid to the May Day Committee, for trophies I.
would expect chat Council would agree to this same provision. The sum
would be $480.00 for the three day show.

The sum stipulated in che contract of $2,800.00 is up from last
years amount of $2,500.00. An alternative of percentage of the gate
was proposed however, based on last years Carnival revenue it is
considerably better to go on the basis of the $2,800.00 flat fee as
proposed.

I would recommend that Council apfrove the signing of this contract.
