Pavilion Acoustics
The first item of discussion was acoustics at the pavilion. Don Olson reviewed a report in which he
outlined options ranging in price from $30,000 to $70,000. Option A, which ranged from $30,000 to
$40,000, provided for general-purpose acoustic improvements. Option B ranged in price from $50,000 to
$70,000 for general purpose and road show performance acoustic level of improvement.
The Council discussed the various proposals for understanding and asked Don to look for examples
of where these treatments have been utilized for possible tours by the Council. Discussion also centered on
possible revenue generation if the acoustic treatments were installed, with the Council asking that other
groups such as the Jaycees be approached for possible rental opportunities. Council also asked for
information on the amount of time that would be available for rental, as well as revenue sources to pay for
the improvements.
Mezzanine Improvements
The second item of discussion was an update on the mezzanine improvements. Don Olson informed
the Council of the status of the mezzanine improvements at the pavilion
The City Council thanked Jay, Don, and the staff members at both the Arts Center and the pavilion
for the extra hours they have put into these facilities.
There being no further business, Council member Jensen moved to adjourn, seconded by Council
member Johnson. Motion passed unanimously; the meeting was adjourned at 10:45 pm.
