CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Mark Themig, Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Director
Meeting Date: May 30, 2007
Subject: Huber Park Sound and Light System
At the May 30,2007 City Council Meeting, Council will be asked to review and approve
an agreement for the purchase and installation of the sound and light system for Huber
Park.
We are working with Tierney Brothers for design, purchase, and installation of the sound
and light system under a master contract that Tierney Brothers has with the University of
Minnesota. This allows us to obtain the sound and light system at set contract pricing.
Tierney Brothers has experience with sound and light system installations throughout the
metropolitan area, including the Bloomington Normandale Lakes outdoor performance
stage. The Huber Park project budget identified $50,000 for the sound and light system.
In order to ensure we have a system that will meet both music and theatrical needs, a
subsection of the Huber Park design committee and other interested individuals are
assisting with design of the system and review of the proposal. Members of this group
include Andi Billig (Chameleon Theater), Scott Swanson (Shakopee resident and
theater), Bob Cole (local musician), Bryan Johnson (Enigma staff), Chayci Rutz (Enigma
staff), and Brad Eller (recreation supervisor).
As of the deadline for submitting packets, I had not received the final proposal. Once I
receive the final proposal, I will be circulating it to the design committee, and will provide
you with a copy electronically. I will also have copies at the meeting for your review.
