These events are frequent and therefore it makes good business <br />sense to purchase a piano over continuous rentals. <br /> <br />The University of Miami School of Music annually hosts a slightly used piano sale. This <br />provided a limited opportunity to purchase a piano that has been used by the school for <br />one year at a significantly discounted rate. The piano selected for the City is a Yamaha <br />C7 Concert Grand Piano. It is in exceptionally good condition and carries a suggested <br />retail price of $69,770.00. It was carefully inspected by a trusted piano tuner and deemed <br />to be in excellent performance condition. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMA nON: <br /> <br />This piano will replace the baby grand piano that was donated to the City by Christine <br />Lee's Restaurant when they moved out of the City. That piano was damaged and deemed <br />not worth repair at the time of donation. <br /> <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> <br />Budgeted positions remain unfilled during this fiscal year. As a result, funds were re- <br />appropriated for the purchase of the piano. <br /> <br />A TT ACHMENTS: <br />. Resolution <br />.
