Under old business, Evan reported that he would have an update at the next council meeting on generator work and that Troy estimated it would take two to three people to hook up a generator due to the physical wiring involved. Tony said he would call Megawatts to see if they could handle installing the generator at the park, indicating the city is exploring vendor options for generator installation at multiple locations. No specific contract, cost, or vendor selection was approved in this meeting, so generator installation remains under consideration with Megawatts as a prospective provider.This creates an opening for firms that supply, install, or maintain standby generators and electrical infrastructure to help Madison assess load requirements, installation logistics, and maintenance plans for city facilities and park locations before a final purchasing decision is made.

Megawatts is being informally approached about park generator installation; scope and procurement process are still fluid.

The board will consider FitRev preventative maintenance agreement proposals at its October 28, 2026 meeting. The item is still pending, so the district has not selected the maintenance provider yet. That creates a near-term opportunity around fitness equipment service, inspections, and upkeep. The next decision point is the board vote.
