Franklin County High School is requesting permission to install a new sound system in the gym. Funds have been obtained through the booster organization and parents. Attached is the estimate of work that we received on Thursday, February 2, 2006. As of this date, several questions remain: 1. No cable was included for mounting. We need an approximate estimate of cost. 2. We don't know the intended location for speakers. 3. We don't know how the speakers will be mounted and what protection will be given. 4. We don't know the weight of the equipment they intend to install. 5. There is no mention of where the cables might be run. 6. There is no mention of installation time. 7. We have concerns about the use of an outside "lift" being placed on our new floor. Mr. Klink and his staff are trying to contact the vendor to get these questions answered. We received additional information at 2:00 p.m., on Monday, February 6, but have not had the opportunity to fully evaluate it.

That the Board approve the installation of the sound system at FCHS contingent upon:

1. Final approval by the Director of Maintenance after he has a chance to review the plans.

2. No additional costs to be paid by the Franklin County Board of Education.

3. Installation must meet all current standards for safety and be within the existing structural integrity and capacities of the facility.

4. Installation is supervised by the Director of Maintenance and his staff.

5. The District's lift is used under the supervision of our own licensed staff with suitable arrangements being made to protect the gym floor.
