Supervisors send basement conference-room AV upgrade to RFP after procurement concerns

The board engaged in an extended discussion about a proposed audiovisual and virtual-conferencing upgrade for the county's basement conference room. Staff presented two quotes to add a third camera and a third large-format monitor, and to replace the conferencing platform with the system used elsewhere in county facilities. Multiple supervisors objected that the project was not run through a formal RFP, called the process 'last minute' for end-of-fiscal-year spending, and urged that the county follow standard bidding procedures.
