Item No. 8G <br />Meeting Date: April 14, 2008 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />City Administrator Review: _______ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Steven Dazenski, Parks Supervisor <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7261 Approving a Quote/Proposal to <br />Resurface the Banquet Center Dance floor <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Mounds View Community Center, to include the banquet Facility was completed in <br />1998. As part of the project the City also undertook ownership of the former Bel-Rae <br />Ballroom. The City used an existing portion of the Bel-Rae dance floor for the present <br />banquet center. The dance floor has not been re-finished since the City took ownership <br />and incorporated it into the present day banquet center. <br /> <br />The banquet center and dance floor has been used at a high capacity, especially during <br />the wedding/summer season. The dance floor is an essential part of a banquet center, <br />differentiating itself from other local meeting centers. The banquet center has seen a <br />steady increase in the amount of rentals, which can be attributed the marketing and <br />advertising of the facility by the Banquet Center Coordinator. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />For the 2008 budget, the banquet center floor is to be scuffed and have new urethane <br />applied. The budget has allocated $1,000.00 for this to be done. <br /> <br />Staff recommends completing a full resurfacing, which consists of stripping and flat <br />sanding the whole floor before the new coat(s) of urethane is applied. While the initial <br />cost is higher, it would ensure the longevity of the floor, as well as contribute to the <br />beautification and appeal of the banquet center to potential clients. Since the floor has <br />not been re-finished since the City took ownership, scuffing and applying new urethane <br />will not correct the cracks and scratches currently on the dance floor. Below are initial <br />quotes/proposals for a full resurfacing of the banquet center dance floor: <br /> <br /> <br />COMPANY QUOTE/PROPOSAL <br />Hammer Wood Floors – Anoka $5,600.00 <br />Frank’s Floors – Brooklyn Center $5,500.00 <br />Steve’s Floors – Roseville $5,200.00 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
