~ty of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item # 5.1. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />July 21, 1997 <br /> <br />Ice Arena Public Address System <br /> <br />Attached for your review is a very comprehensive memo from Ice Arena <br />Manager Rich Czech regarding the P.A. system quotes that were received. <br />The top recommendation from Rich is to purchase the system from Pro Sound <br />Communications in the amount of $13,571 based on the quality of the system <br />and the options it provides. The next best alternative according to Rich <br />would be the system from EMI Audio in the amount of $11,457. According to <br />the memo, Rich believes that the quality of the system that we would receive <br />from Pro Sound Communications is worth the extra $2,100 investment. <br /> <br />Also attached for your review is the June 2, 1997, City Council minutes when <br />the financing of the P.A. system was discussed. At this meeting the Council <br />supported using half equipment reserves and half capital project reserves to <br />finance the P.A. system. Per direction from the City Council the attached <br />June 11th letter was sent to the school superintendent regarding their <br />participation in financing the P.A. system. Dr. Flannery has indicated <br />verbally that he supports the school's contribution to a P.A. system, but I <br />have not seen this in writing. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase and <br />installation of the Pro Sound Communication P.A. system as recommended <br />by the ice arena manager. <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\council\icepa.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
