Since the Movie is being shown in public and outdoors, there ends up being several licensing issues that make the movie selection more difficult. Our vendor and myself can assist in navigating those issues. Some movies may not be shown outdoors at all, I believe some movies may only be shown outdoors at certain times of the year and pricing is of course different for movies. Music in the Park Committee Members need to commit to an event for the remaining performances. There is no event on August 2 as it is National Night Out. All of the remaining performers will be using the PA system so a Committee Member who knows how to use the equipment will need to be present at these events. We will need 6 folding chairs for the BBB Jazz Orchestra. I will commit to picking up the ice cream for Mr. Lee's event.

The patch bay is a flat panel of audio connectors where XLR cables (often both "male" and 'female') and 1/4 inch jacks can be plugged in, The "snake" cable makes setup more convenient, I because if a sound engineer did not have a"snake'; she or he would have to run 20 or 30 individual I microphone and instrument cables from the stage to the mixing booth. The cables could get tangled or mixed up, and it would be hard to know, when faced with 20 connectors at the end of the cable run, which cable was associated with which microphone or instrument. The patch bay is numbered, so that the engineer can note which microphone or instrument is plugged into each numbered connection. I City Council approved $2700 for the PA system and $2,484.35 has been spent, leaving $215.65. Vice- I Chairperson Grahek has been discussing this with Mr. Tom Lee and looking at equipment on Craig's List.

A PO should be gotten through the City Clerk with vender, what are you buying, what is it for, and how much supplied. We should have this equipment by the August 9�' performance if possible.
