Moved by Clark, seconded by Welper that the request of the Building Official/Maintenance Administrator for pre-authorization to expend $5,275.00 for audio system upgrade and programming for the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center be approved. Lou Cutwright, Building Official/Maintenance Administrator, explained the invoice is for the cost of labor, and there was no cost for the software upgrade. The former manager of the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center accepted a new job, and the new manager did not know how to operate the audio system. The system was not working properly and the company was called and said they could come right away. There was a problem with crackling and parts of the system were replaced. An emergency repair was necessary because events were planned at the center. Councilperson Greenwood asked if Mr. Cutwright checked with local vendors who could have made repairs saving the city the travel and lodging costs. Councilperson Greenwood suggested that the city find a local vendor for repairs to the audio system. Mr. Cutwright explained that it was an emergency and he authorized the repairs, and in the future when there is an emergency he will contact members of the Finance Committee for prior approval.
