Background and Rationale
body
In 2013, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with Lancer Hospitality Inc. to manage and operate the Keller Golf Course clubhouse. The agreement was for 10 years. In 2021, the County Manager approved a name assignment for Blue Bell Enterprises, LLC and Lancer Food and Beverage, LLC to continue management. The amendment to the contract will allow time to develop a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services. The amendment is for operation through January 31, 2025.

County Goals (Check those advanced by Action)
☒ Well-being ☐ Prosperity ☒ Opportunity ☒ Accountability
Racial Equity Impact
The Keller Golf Course Clubhouse has a restaurant and event space that is open to the public. Use of these spaces has also been extended to the county for internal and community meetings. This Request for Board Action will give the time needed to develop a new RFP. This will ensure that the county’s priority of supporting an economically competitive environment is met through the RFP process. A process that encourages entrepreneurs, BIPOC and women-owned small businesses to participate.

This is a no change from the original contract. The operator is obligated to pay Ramsey County 12% of the net sales (gross sales, less sales tax); pay 50% of the cost of clubhouse utilities (gas, electric, sewer, and water); and 100% of the cost of telephone, internet, and cable television.
Last Previous Action
On August 20, 2013, the Ramsey County Board approved Lancer Food and Beverage, LLC to manage and operate the Keller Golf Course clubhouse including the restaurant, on-course beverage service, and events (Resolution 2013-229).
