December 30, 2003 <br />Ms. Karen White <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />435 County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Re: Morris Performing Arts Center Capital Improvement Appropriations Ordinance <br />Dear Ms. White, <br />I attach for filing with the South Bend Common Council an Ordinance requesting an <br />appropriation of $60,150, within the Morns Performing Arts Center Improvement Fund (Fund <br />416). Revenues from this fund are generated by the ticket surcharge and the fund is used <br />exclusively for capital improvements such as renovation, remodeling, and specifically here, <br />equipment to improve the facilities. <br />The improvements for which the Morns Performing Arts Center desires appropriation consist of <br />the following: <br />$ 650.00 Time Clock. Currently we have ten (10) part-time <br />independent contractors working in the Box Office. As of <br />January 1, 2004, these independent contractors will become <br />part-time employees of the City of South Bend, and a time <br />clock is needed to track the hours worked by these <br />employees. <br />$ 2,500.00 Life Lines. Life lines are safety lines and are needed for <br />use by the Morns Stage Manager, Facility Engineer and <br />others when working above the stage and seating area in <br />the theater to hang lighting, change lamps, and complete <br />various other project. The life lines are a safety <br />requirement of OSHA. <br />$ 6,500.00 Theater Intercom System. The theater currently has an <br />intercom system that is outdated and in poor working <br />condition. It was not upgraded during the Morns <br />renovation. The intercom is used by stage hands and stage <br />crews to help facilitate stage set-up and the running of the <br />show on stage. <br />~~ <br />
