Council Minutes of 5-05-2021 their services these past few weeks and as this program wraps up in the next few as well. Thank you. Councilman Kelly Chairman of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: The Recreation, Public Parks and Building Committee met on Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at 7:19 p.m. Present were committee members Kelly, Hemann Brossard; Council members Glassburn, Limpert, Schumann and Williamson; Council President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Law Gareau and Director of Planning and Community Development Lieber, Recreation Commissioner Drenski and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2021-31. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to advertise for bids for the award of a contract to lease replacement fitness/cardio equipment at the North Olmsted Recreation Center, as detailed in the specifications on file in the Division of Recreation, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. Commissioner Drenski said the goal is to replace some of the cardio equipment as the original lease was five years and with the pandemic the lease was extended an extra year. The machines are now owned and maintenance is performed quarterly. The plan is to replace eight treadmills, an unspecified number of elliptical machines and to lease two or more Peloton bikes. The cost is not known, but is expected to be between $100,000 and $120,000 over five years. There are no set figures yet. Councilwoman Hemann expressed disappointment in the $20,000 range and would like a better figure for it. The Mayor responded she could come to Board of Control, but promised to get the figure to Council prior to the Board of Control meeting. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Lambert, who resides at 25057 Carey Lane, sent an e-mail to Council regarding the cancellation of North Olmsted's Homecoming for the second year due to COVID. He said while the parade will continue, the City should have a two-day community picnic with food trucks, car show, etc. The complete message was forwarded to Council and is attached to the meeting minutes.
