Three proposals were received by March 7, 2024. At its April 18, 2024, meeting, the Village Council authorized the Village Manager to negotiate a professional services agreement with Bohemian Spark Café, the top-ranked proposer. Operations for Bohemian Spark Café ceased on August 23, 2025. Following this, Administration contacted the second-ranked proposer, Platea Group, to initiate negotiations. Based on these negotiations, I respectfully request approval authorizing the Village Manager, in consultation with the Village Attorney, to finalize and execute an agreement with Platea Group under the following terms: a 40/60 split of net revenue and a 50/50 split of private event catering revenue on the premises. The agreement will have a five-year term, with up to two (2) optional five-year renewals. This revenue-share structure is projected to generate more than $175,000 annually, a material increase compared to the prior agreement, which provided a fixed monthly fee capped at $144,000 per year.
