recommending the replacement of the fire curtain trip mechanism in the amount of
$14,700.
The Five Flags renovation budget will have sufficient contingency balance remaining to

MEMORANDUM
November 2, 2005
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: GiI D. Spence, Leisure Services Manager
SUBJECT: 5 Flags Equipment and Capital Purchases
As part of the FY 07 budget process, two Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) were
submitted for funding that you inquired if they could possibly be completed in FY 06 if
funding were available. The first project is for the purchase of 200 pairs of ice skates to
replace the worn out skates that are rented for public use during the winter. Five Flags
Manager, Charlie Gardner has researched the cost to replace the ice skates and it
would be $15,000 for all 200 pairs.
The second CIP submitted was to replace the fire curtain trip mechanism in the theater.
The mechanism needs an upgrade to a hydraulic system for ease raising and lowering.
The estimated cost to replace this item is $14,700.
In reviewing the Five Flags renovation budget, there is approximately $38,000 balance
remaining in the contingency line item. Since the Five Flags renovation project is
complete, I do not anticipate needing to use the contingency and am recommending
that $29,700 of these funds be used to purchase the items identified above.
