Item No. 15-264
Date: 7-27-2015
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the Acceptance of a $4,200 Donation from the
Cole Land Transportation Museum
Responsible Department: Parks and Recreation
Commentary: The Bangor Band would like to purchase performance risers to use under the
inflatable band shell. This would provide them a solid, flat surface to set up on. This was
something the Band had hoped to purchase earlier, but they decided to wait until the shell had
been purchased and we were able to go through a complete season. Currently, they set up on
the bare ground whenever the shell is inflated. The band has received a quote of $13,954.00
for the necessary equipment. The Band has received a donation of $4,200.00 from the Cole
Land Transportation Museum, and together with the remaining balance of the previous King
Foundation donation, will provide enough funds for the purchase. This order authorizes the
acceptance of the donation from the Cole Land Transportation Museum. The purchase of the
risers will be handled in separate action by the Finance Committee.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval at the July 20, 2015 Government Operations
Committee meeting.
