Capital Project: Wireless Uplights for Events and Shows

Description

This project will replace the LED uplights that are used for rentals, events and shows.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION

Parker Arts needs to replace the existing LED uplights that are past their useful lifespan, not functioning at full capacity or are in disrepair. The new uplights are more energy efficient, incur far less maintenance costs, and will increase the equipment available for renters, shows and events.

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Enhance Economic Vitality

Parker Arts is a critical component of a vibrant downtown. It offers events, classes and shows year-round, which bring patrons downtown to eat and shop.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement

The theater provides a performance space for a number of local arts groups (e.g., Parker Chorale, Inspire Creative and Parker Symphony Orchestra) and provides a pathway for community members to take an active role in the arts.

Innovate with Collaborative Governance

As the premier cultural entity for Douglas County and beyond, we collaborate with creative partners, Town departments, organizations from across the state, and vendors from around the country to deliver the most innovative programming and engaging experiences at affordable prices.

Capital Project: Hot Water Storage Tank

DESCRIPTION

This request provides funding for the replacement of the Domestic Hot Water Heater which serves the east end of the facility.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION

While typically these types of water heaters are replaced at failure, this one serves the back of house functions at the PACE Center. These functions include the space used by performers to prepare or rest prior to or after a show. This tank is also a larger capacity tank and would take additional time to obtain and install. It is considered a best practice to plan for such a replacement due to delays in replacement or when impact to end users is deemed critical.

Strategic Goals Achieved

Support an Active Community

The PACE Center is the cultural center for the performing arts. This project provides ongoing support of the operational areas in the facility.

Enhance Economic Vitality

Eliminating impacts to the acts and/or performers at this facility provides a stronger position to continue engaging new entertainment for the Cultural department.

Promote a Safe and Healthy Community

Providing heated potable water at all facilities is important in providing the ongoing safe and healthy use of the facility. By replacing the Hot Water Heater before it fails, the Town is able to stay committed to this aspect.
