Meeting Date: 11/23/94 <br /> Agenda Item: C 3 <br /> CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION: Community Park Audio System <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Parks and Recreation Director <br /> REVIEWED BY: <br /> EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: There has been considerable interest expressed in <br /> obtaining an audio system for the Community Park building. Desired capabilities <br /> include indoor and outdoor music playing by radio, tape and /or CD; and outdoor <br /> paging or announcing. The system is desired for enhancement of the outdoor skating <br /> experience as well as for use at special events. <br /> Two proposals have been received from local commercial audio system design <br /> companies. Both proposals offer comparable system components and installation at <br /> costs of $3,545 and $3,694. <br /> A third proposal involved the individual purchase of comparable system components <br /> through mail -order sources. Former Parks and Recreation commissioner and Curtiss <br /> Field neighbor, Dave Wickhem, has donated his time and electronics expertise by <br /> producing a recommendation of system components. Purchase of a system in this <br /> manner would cost about $1,900, not including installation. Installation would then <br /> be conducted by Pete Klingenberg and the public works staff with some additional <br /> consultation and assistance from Dave Wickhem. Staff is confident that a system <br /> obtained and installed in this manner would be very comparable in quality and function <br /> to the above mentioned proposals. <br /> Funds remaining in the '94 park C.I.P. are sufficient to cover the purchase price of the <br /> system. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Authorization to proceed with the purchase of individual audio <br /> system components for the Community Park building with installation being conducted <br /> in- house. <br />
