# Capital Improvement Board OKs up to $35,000 to fix defective Larry Bird Museum exhibit graphics

## What happened
The Capital Improvement Board (CIB) authorized its president to sign a contract of up to $35,000 for repairs at the Larry Bird Museum, after being shown a project estimate of $28,660 from Ignition Arts LLC ([0:02:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Is1mqP4Qc&t=128), [0:52:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Is1mqP4Qc&t=3173)). Board member Chris Switzer said John Marvel, who was home ill, had texted that $5,000 more was needed because a graphic was missed, and the chair agreed to set the cap at $35,000 ([0:53:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Is1mqP4Qc&t=3199), [0:53:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Is1mqP4Qc&t=3214)). Museum staff said that once a contract is signed, production takes seven to eight weeks, followed by installation ([0:32:48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Is1mqP4Qc&t=1968)). This follows the board's Aug. 26 report that it had paid a 50% deposit to Ignition Arts for replacement graphics ([Aug. 26, 1:07:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHbWw9xxkrk&t=4025)).

## The outcome
Passed on a voice vote on a motion by Chris Switzer; no per-member tally was recorded ([0:53:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Is1mqP4Qc&t=3221)).
