Initiator
Parks and Recreation
Recommendation
Approval is requested to accept 1 Reebok Treadmill V8.90 and 1 Gazelle \n \n Freestyle Crosstrainer Glider from a senior who is a member of Gallops Seniors \n \n Center. \n \n
Approval
Pending
Background
The member has stated that he would like to donate these items to the center

for others to enjoy while using our exercise room. The approximate cost of

each item is $1,299.00 for the treadmill and $300.00 for the glider. Seniors

can benefit tremendously from regular exercise. Seniors have even more to gain

than younger people by becoming more active because they are at higher risk for

the health problems that physical activity can prevent.
Analysis
: Parks and Recreation is requesting to receive the 2 items indicated to use

in the center for all participants.
Financial Considerations
: This will be at no cost to the City as it is a private donation.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
None is expected.
Legal Considerations
Council must approve this donation.
Recommendations/ Actions
Approve the donation of the 1Reebok Treadmill and I Gazelle Freestyle

Crosstrainer Glider to be used by all participants who visit Gallops Senior

Center.
