October 7, 2026 Town of Schererville Park Board Meeting

The October 7, 2026 Schererville Park Board meeting covered donations, concession results, event planning, and a proposed fitness-room rental agreement. The board approved listed donations of $200, $1,000, and $250 (associated in the transcript with Hotworks, Dr. Tori’s Dental Shop/Berdick, and Centier Bank). Staff reported 2026 concession gross sales of just over $33,000 and net income of $13,526, compared with nearly $25,000 in gross sales and about $9,000 net the prior year; product costs were higher, while staffing costs were reduced. Staff also presented a 2027 sponsorship guide to support future fundraising and business partnerships.

The board discussed a revised agreement for a fitness instructor’s use of the cardio room, including insurance, liability waivers, scheduling, and rental charges. The usual rates were identified as $30 per hour for residents and $60 for nonresidents, with $60 discussed for this paid-class arrangement. No vote approving the agreement was taken; staff planned to discuss it with the instructor and make any needed revisions. A proposed soccer event at Stevens Park or Rorman Park was not going ahead. No contract award or capital purchase was identified.
