Council approves hard‑wired music system at city pool to play public radio
Summary
The council approved a privately funded hard-wired sound system at the Altamont pool that will be limited to playing public radio station KLKC; streaming services will not be available, and emergency procedures and staff training will be implemented.
The Altamont City Council on June 25 approved installation of a hard-wired music system at the city pool, to be provided and funded by private sponsors and managed by pool staff.
Mr. Shields described the proposal’s technical limits and content restrictions, telling the council that the system “will be permitted to play public radio station KLKC” and that applications such as Spotify would not be provided. Council discussion addressed receiver and speaker placement, the number of speakers, volume level, and appropriate staff training; emergency procedures were noted and will be adapted after installation. The minutes record the motion: “Councilmember Wiford moved, and Councilmember Booth seconded to approve music at the pool as provided by Mr. Shields and his sponsors with a hard-wired system. Motion carried.”
The record indicates sound system and installation costs were privately funded; the council did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes.
