overhaul the sound system and renovate office space

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Capitol Theatre Committee (CTC - the organization contracted to manage the facility on behalf of
the City) has funded a review of the Theatre by an architect to identify the most pressing maintenance
issues. Two items emerged as urgent unbudgeted issues from that study: 1) An overhaul of the sound
system and, 2) Additional office space. The total cost of these projects are estimated to be $175,000,
with CTC funding 1 /2 ($75,000 by a grant and $12,500 from local operations), and the City funding 1 /2
($87,500) from the Capitol Theatre Reserve Fund.
The attached appropriation ordinance would authorize the transfer of an additional $87,500 from the
Capitol Theatre Reserve Fund to the Operating Fund, and then appropriate the overhaul of the sound
system and renovation of office space from the Operating Fund.
Additionally, the City's Code Administration Staff reviewed the architect's report and the Theatre, and
determined that the present fire alarm system is not compliant with ADA requirements. They are
recommending that the system be brought up to code by adding audible horns and strobes, and
lowering existing pull stations, at an estimated cost of $25,000. As this is a safety issue in a City -owned
facility, staff is recommending that this improvement be funded from the Contingency Fund.
The attached letter from Steve Caffery, Manager of the Capitol Theatre, explains the projects in more
detail.
