Fitness Machines and Track Proposal

A number of people who read the agendas for the December 15th meetings asked for more information regarding the "PE/Fitness Equipment" and the "Track Proposal" (Items E and F on the Committee of the Whole agenda). So, I thought I would post a brief description of both items.

First, the "PE/Fitness Equipment" is a proposal to purchase weight training machines, treadmills, elliptical machines and stationary bicycles for each of the Minooka Intermediate School (the 5th and 6th graders) and the Minooka Junior High School (the 7th and 8th graders). Click here for the proposed fitness room layout at the Minooka Intermediate School, and click here for the proposed fitness room layout at the Minooka Junior High School. The total cost is estimated to be approximately $200,000 (or $100,000 for each school).

Second, the "Track Proposal" is a proposal to construct an all-weather track, soccer field and other track event areas inside the bus loop at the Minooka Intermediate School/Minooka Junior High School campus. Click here for a proposed layout of the track and soccer field. The total cost for this project is estimated to be approximately $1.5 million.

If anyone has further questions regarding these proposals, please do not hesitate to send me an email at dpmartin1775(at)yahoo.com (replace the "(at)" with the "@" sign).
