Martinsville City approves $19,826 change order to upgrade Martinsville Theater sound and projection system
Summary
The board approved a $19,826.15 change order to upgrade sound/projection equipment at the Martinsville Theater to achieve DCI compliance and enable streaming; staff said RDC funds had been set aside to cover the expense.
The Martinsville City Board of Works and Public Safety approved a change order on April 13 to upgrade sound and projection systems at the Martinsville Theater.
A city staff member said the $19,826.15 request would replace legacy playback hardware, make the theater DCI-compliant and permit streaming of newer releases — reducing reliance on manual DVD playback. The staff presentation noted the Redevelopment Commission (RDC) had moved monies to cover the expense.
A board member moved to accept the change order; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff said a follow-up change order may reduce movie-purchase costs once the new system is in place.
