Committee approves $3,460 purchase for two cornhole board sets, one on a concrete pad
Summary
Committee approved a $3,460 contract for two cornhole (bag) board sets, selecting a heavier, more durable model for one set (installed on a concrete pad) and placing the second set on grass; the vote was made after discussion of vendor options and warranty differences.
Committee members moved and voted to approve a $3,460 contract for two cornhole-board sets, after staff presented vendor quotes and placement options. The motion, made by a member identified by the meeting transcript as S3 and seconded by S2, instructed that one set be installed on a concrete pad and the other left without a pad.
Staff described two principal vendor options in the packet and explained trade-offs: one vendor offered heavier, more durable boards with a coating and a warranty and a design that blocks grass growth beneath the board; the other offered lighter composite boards with a vinyl logo option and no warranty. Staff noted a roughly $350 price difference if a logo is added. Committee members discussed placement concerns (e.g., proximity to a disc-golf path) and potential pad sizing and cost increases if the pad is expanded to give more clearance.
After questions about siting and cost implications, the committee approved the motion by voice vote. The meeting record contains inconsistent spellings of vendor names; the committee approved contracting with the first bid in the packet for the total shown ($3,460).
The committee directed staff to proceed with the selected vendor and placement plan. Staff will finalize orders and return any final placement details or cost adjustments to the council or committee as required.
