Genola approves $33,005 elevated bleachers for arena; committee to finalize installation plan
Summary
The council approved a $33,005 purchase of elevated bleachers for the town arena, with funding split between parks and the rodeo committee’s carryover. Council members discussed installation timing and whether to hire a vendor to install the units or use local volunteers.
The Genola Town Council voted to purchase elevated bleachers for the town arena at a cost of $33,005.
Grant Lundberg presented the rodeo committee’s recommendation and reported competitive pricing and vendor discussions. The purchase will add elevated seating to improve sight lines for spectators and allow permanent sponsor signage. The council discussed urgency because rising metal costs and tariffs may push prices higher, and members said having the bleachers in place for the upcoming rodeo season is a priority.
Funding was described as a split between the town’s parks fund and carryover funds from the rodeo committee; exact line-item amounts were discussed during the meeting. Council and rodeo committee members also discussed installation: a vendor quoted labor to deliver and assemble the units, while the rodeo committee said prior bleacher installations used large volunteer efforts and the community could again assist. Speakers said they would contact the vendor (Kendall Booth and the vendor’s team) about availability to install before the rodeo.
Councilmember Grant Lundberg moved to approve the purchase; a second was recorded and the council approved the purchase by voice vote.
