AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council "'''oy` e(
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Service
DATE: September 26, 1995 (Meeting of October 4, 1995)
SUBJECT: Consider Senior Center Purchase of Portable Sound
System.
The Senior Center is in need of purchasing a small, portable sound
system to be used for events and activities for seniors. Most
immediately, the Center needs the sound system for the upcoming
Senior Expo on October 28th, which anticipates over 300 seniors in
attendance.
The sound system which the City purchased two years ago is
designed to provide quality sound for outdoor events and /or highly
attended events, and requires trained technicians to assist in the
operation of the system.
The proposed sound system for the Senior Center includes a four
channel mixer (as opposed to a 16 channel mixer, as the other City
owned system has), two speakers, two speaker stands, cables, a
microphone and microphone stand. This will adequately meet the
needs of the Center and provide quality sound in the Center during
special lunches, guest performers, recognition programs, lectures,
and dance classes.
Staff has priced this equipment, and has received three bid
prices.
World Music $1,300
Impact Presentation $1,675
Muzicraft $2,575
Staff is proposing that the funding for this sound system come
from the Senior Center Trust Account. This account was
established three years ago for the purchase of additional capital
equipment for the Senior Center, utilizing funds that would be
received through Senior Center fundraising efforts.
To date, the Trust Account has a fund balance of $8,500. This
balance increases every month, primarily with fees paid for Simi
Valley Swap Meet spaces, which seniors can rent on a weekly basis
to sell personal items.
In the past, Moorpark Senior Citizens, Inc. have shared the cost
of capital expenses in the Senior Center that would mutually
benefit the club's activities. Staff has requested that MSCI
consider contributing to 1/2 of the cost of the proposed sound
system. MSCI has indicated that the club is willing to contribute
to the sound system.
Staff would recommend that the City Council approve the
expenditure of up to $700 for one half of the cost of a portable
sound system for the Senior Center.
RECOMONDATION (Roll Call Vote)
Approve the expenditure not to exceed $700 for one half of the
cost of a portable sound system for the Senior Center, from the
Senior Center Trust Account.
