Board discusses sound improvements and maintenance funding options for the Colonial
Summary
Board members noted safety items are addressed and discussed expensive speaker upgrades for 'dead' areas; Spectacle reported attempting to fund new speakers by selling unused light fixtures but has not found a buyer.
Brandon Caron reported that all previously identified safety concerns in the facility have been addressed and that staff are updating cost estimates for remaining projects. Committee member Karen Sullivan raised concerns about poor sound in some seating areas; Pete Lally said speaker upgrades would be expensive and that Spectacle considered selling unused light fixtures to fund new speakers but has not found a buyer.
The discussion confirmed the facility is safe but that acoustic improvements would require fundraising or capital spending; Karen suggested the nonprofit (once established) could pursue targeted fundraising to cover speaker improvements. The board did not take a formal vote but noted the need to refine project cost estimates before committing funds.
