# City Council Meeting 10/12/2026

At the Riverview City Council meeting on October 12, 2026, members discussed a proposed EMS equipment replacement program presented by Stryker. The options were estimated at about $740,000 through phased purchases over four years, or about $731,000 through five annual payments under EMS Plus, including seven years of service and equipment trade-ins. The proposal would standardize equipment across the department’s vehicles and could support upgrading the fire engine to full ALS capability. No purchase was approved; the city said the proposal was not budgeted and requires further review, including examination of the contract and confirmation of whether the purchase would be sole-source. The chief indicated he may bring it back to council in November.

Council also discussed a proposed outdoor fitness court at Young Patriots Park. The city has received a $40,000 National Fitness Campaign grant, while total project costs are estimated at $205,000–$230,000; staff would seek additional grants, and no project funding has yet been budgeted. Members asked staff to obtain written terms allowing the city to withdraw if additional funding is unavailable and to seek an extension of the resolution deadline to the third Monday in November. No vote was reported. Separately, staff said funding applications are being prepared for repairs to the Grange Road and Homemeister bridges, following engineering inspections; no contract award or spending authorization was discussed.
