i MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: APRIL 27, 1988 SUBJECT: IRONDALE HIGH SCHOOL THEATER FLOOR REPLACEMENT PROPOSAL Two bids were received for damage done to the Irondale High School theater stage floor. The bids are attached to this memo. The bids were for the entire replacement of the floor and for the amount to replace the three circle sections which were damaged by set castors during the Mounds View Community Theater production of "MAME". The three castors were heavy and left indentations on the floor. oho These indentations are not easily visible and a person must either look at the floor from a distance on the horizon or feel the floor to detect the damage. In addition, there were two rips in the floor caused by the castors. These rips occurred because the floor has x give and when tho heavy castors rolled, the flooring buckled and ripped. The largest of these two rips is fifteen inches long. The theater floor is the same floor installed when the school was built in 1970. This floor is 18 years old. It is constructed with a base of particle board. On top of the particle board lies about 3/4" - 1" of burlap. On top of the burlap is a linoleum called "battleship" linoleum because it is the same flooring often placed in ships. The floor gives as one can detect by simply walking on ic. 1. nany mars, cuts, paint blotches and furniture marks -- ..�frheA because of past use. Several places i.av� -- as one can.. see by the square cuts. In simple terms, the floor is in terrible shape and needs replacement. Evidently, the school staff does not believe that budget monies will be allocated for replacement of the floor in the near future. The Mounds View Community Theater has been asked to cover the cost of repairing the damaged areas. However, because the whole floor is in such bad condition, staff suggested that the $950 damage fee (as determined by Jerry's Floor Store for replacement) be used to start a savings fund for the total floor replacement. Nick Temali ran this idea by David Groth and he liked the idea. RECOMMENDATION: To consider the approval to begin a savings account with $950 with signatures required by Irondale High School and the City of Mounds View to be used to accummulate funds for the purpose of replacing Irondale High School theater stage floor.
