Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhood and a Sense of Community. Background: . City Council approved three modifications to the original structure with the completion of the Ntelos canopy replacement. . Two of these items, downspouts to divert rain from the canopy and a rain flap on the stage roof were completed. The third improvement, a section of canopy material to divert rain from the stage corner to the main mast was built as a temporary measure to first insure that it worked as intended. . While only temporary, it has been in place for about two years and functioned as needed. Discussion: . A permanent canopy structure needs to be constructed in the same manner as the previously constructed roof rain flap. . An additional funding is required in order for Span Systems Inc., the replacement contractor, to fabricate and install a permanent rain diversion structure. . The total cost of the canopy improvement is $63,445 and will be funded by using currently available funds in the project, $7,070 in reprogrammed funds (Capital Project 18507), and $37,941 of additional appropriation from the NTELOS sponsorship fee. Financial Impact: . The $7,070 in reprogrammed funds will come from capital project -Harbor Center Pavilion Upgrades, and $37,941 of additional appropriation from the NTELOS sponsorship fee. Staff Recommends: Adoption of ordinance. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community.
