Active OpportunityRecreation & Community ServicesDetected Jun 17, 2026

Council accepted a recommendation from the Recreation Advisory Committee directing staff to undertake a Request for Information (RFI) process to solicit information and expressions of interest for operating a pro shop within the HSM Insurance Centre Arena. Staff are to run the RFI and then report back to Council with results and any recommended next steps. This indicates an active market-sounding exercise for a potential concession/retail operation, with future possibilities ranging from a lease or service agreement to a full operating contract.Arena retailers, concession operators, sports-equipment vendors, and facility management firms can respond to the RFI to shape requirements and position themselves for any subsequent formal procurement or lease negotiation.

The motion explicitly calls for an RFI, not yet an RFP; scope and commercial model will be shaped by responses and staff recommendations.

Budget Planning

The committee requested one session for 2027 budget details for meditation and yoga in Founders Park. This is a budget-stage program item, not a purchase order, and it shows a service concept being shaped for next year's spending plan. A provider of wellness programming has a lead only if the city later funds and scopes the sessions.

Contract Award

The county approved a formal Fitness Passport Service Agreement with One Pass Solutions for senior center fitness reimbursements. The agreement covers Renew Active members and sets reimbursement at $1.50 per visit with a $30 monthly cap per person. Staff said the center had been receiving these payments without a formal contract, and 2025 reimbursements totaled $1,660. This locks in the current revenue stream and creates a managed renewal point with One Pass.
