From: Travis Karlen, Recreation Supervisor
Meeting Date: December 5, 2006
Subject: Fitness Equipment Purchase
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to authorize the purchase of new fitness equipment and the
donation of two recumbent bikes, one 90 degree bench and one modular piece of
strength equipment to the Shakopee Police Department.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In March 2004 City Council approved the reuse of the gymnastics space within the
Community Center for fitness activities. The reuse provided a permanent home for our
aerobics program, designated cardio and weights area for our members, and better
utilized an underutilized space.
From 2004 - 2006 we have reconfigured the fitness area, added new equipment and
accommodated ADA guidelines. With the improvements we made the last 3 years, we
have provided an improved fitness space in the facility we currently have.
Currently we have 3 pieces of equipment that have continuous needs for maintenance
and are nearing the end of their life expectancy. Unfortunately there is no trade in value
for any of these three units. They are still in working order with the occasional
maintenance but are not desirable for use by patrons of the Community Center.
The 2007 operating budget contains $25,000 for upgrading fitness equipment. We
currently have agood selection of equipment for the size of our fitness center and the
area is close to its maximum capacity for the amount of equipment that can be housed in
the area in accordance with ADA guidelines. Therefore, I am recommending a scenario
that would upgrade some of the equipment, would involve donation of some older
equipment to the Police Department and would incorporate a spinning program within
the group fitness program.
The existing inventory of equipment we have is as follows:
