Council appoints two residents to communications committee; AV and remote-attendance plans to be developed
Summary
Council appointed Jacqueline Sani and Laura Hall to the communications committee and directed staff to prepare draft legislation on remote attendance and a plan for council chamber audio-visual upgrades.
The Pepper Pike City Council appointed Jacqueline Sani and Laura Hall to the city’s communications committee on Tuesday and discussed next steps on remote attendance rules and improvements to chamber audio-visual systems.
Council members introduced both appointees, noting backgrounds in technology and marketing. Jacqueline Sani described 20 years in technology and experience with large-scale music streaming outreach; Laura Hall noted marketing communications experience and nonprofit board service. Council approved their appointments by roll call vote.
Council and staff also discussed work to draft an ordinance governing remote attendance for council members and to develop specifications for an upgraded chamber audio-visual system. Staff said they will bring draft legislation at the next meeting that aligns with state law and that the communications committee will vet AV vendor proposals and help refine technical specifications before a formal bid or request for proposals is released. Council members asked for a concise specification package to be prepared so vendors can respond to a consistent bid package.
Action and next steps: Council adopted the committee appointments. Staff said a draft remote-attendance ordinance will be ready for council consideration at the next meeting and that the communications committee will help scope chamber AV upgrades and the procurement/specification process.
