Proposed Concession Application

Concession proposal applications must be received by the Pocatello Parks & Recreation Department no later than thirty (30) business days prior to the first day of desired setup and may be submitted as early as one (1) year prior to the first day of desired setup.

Introduction

Each year, the City of Pocatello receives many requests from individuals and groups to run concessions in City parks. A concession is defined as any individual, group, business entity, or organization engaged in the “sale of” OR “collection of a donation in exchange for food, beverage, or any other merchandise or service” OR “advertising of concession, service or business” at a public place or park within the City limits.

Examples of concessions include, but are not limited to, these types of concessions: hot dog stands, snow cone/shaved ice stands, food trucks, etc. Excluded from this requirement are venues that are permitted to hold such activities according to the property’s zoning designation or through an approved Special Use Permit.

Please be aware that concessions held in designated parks require prior approval. Upon approval, additional permits may be required through the Parks & Recreation Department. Therefore, applicants may have to fill out additional permit applications in addition to this Proposed Concession Application.
Please note that upon approval of your concession, you will be required to pay the applicable permit fees and provide liability insurance coverage for your concession.
You may also be required to fill out additional agency permits—beyond those listed below—depending on the type and scope of the concession.
