AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss Matters Related to the Les Lacs Park Outdoor Fitness Court.

BACKGROUND:

On September 14, 2021, Council approved two resolutions:

A resolution confirming the Town's intent to participate in the 2021 National Fitness Campaign Grant Program for $25,000 towards the purchase of fitness equipment to be installed at Les Lacs Park.
A resolution to approve the purchase of Outdoor Fitness Court equipment from National Fitness Campaign in an amount not to exceed $124,265.

Following approval by Council, staff facilitated the purchase of the equipment with 2019 bond funds. The equipment is in the possession of the Town awaiting installation. Staff is currently reviewing proposals from contractors to install the concrete pad for the equipment installation.

In November - December 2021, residents approached Council and staff with concerns about the installation of the equipment at the proposed location at Les Lacs Park. Mayor Joe Chow and Deputy Mayor Pro-tem Paul Walden asked that an item on this topic be placed on a Council meeting agenda for discussion. Staff will make a presentation that gives an overview of the residents' concerns and provide background information regarding the selection of the location for fitness court and equipment at Les Lacs Park to help aid Council's discussion.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff seeks direction from Council.
