Council reviews fitness equipment quotes and orders for wellness center
Summary
Councilors discussed worn basketballs and whether to purchase new recumbent bikes with basic or touchscreen consoles; they weighed lower-cost online options against vendor service and preferred keeping equipment supported by the current vendor.
Bryce Canyon City councilors reviewed replacement and expansion options for the municipal wellness center during the meeting.
Speaker 4 reported that basketballs are worn and requested ordering more — “I would like to see us at least order 8 boys and 6 girls.” The speaker said last year’s balls cost about $105.99 each and that a fresh quote will be placed on the next agenda for formal approval.
Councilors also examined quotes for recumbent bikes. Speaker 2 read vendor pricing and then contacted the vendor during the meeting; the vendor confirmed the two line items represent the same bike with different console options, with the more expensive option offering a touchscreen. Council members noted vendor responsiveness and on-site service as advantages; one councilor suggested a lower-cost retail alternative (an Amazon option cited in discussion priced near $500), but others favored continuity with the vendor to reduce downtime for repairs.
No final procurement contract was approved during the meeting; staff were directed to obtain an updated written quote and prepare procurement paperwork and cost comparisons for a future council agenda.
The council also discussed storing an underused rowing machine to make space and possibly trial a different bike model, and members asked staff to return with firm prices and installation details before purchase.
