Humboldt Park Beer Garden Agreement Made
The Milwaukee Parks Department and St. Francis Brewery signed a contract to continue the beer garden in Humboldt Park through 2019.
With the agreement, the Parks Department will receive 20% of gross sales. This revenue will go towards the general Parks Department budget. A monthly $700 fee will be paid for utilities.
In addition, a maintenance fund will be created for the sole use of Humboldt Park. 5% of gross sales will be deposited monthly into the maintenance fund, which will be jointly controlled by the County and St. Francis Brewery. Withdrawing money will require joint signatures from both parties.
In 2015, St. Francis Brewery will invest a minimal of $7,000 for renovations and improvements in the park pavilion. For each consecutive year, a minimum of $2,000 will be invested.
