Council discusses AV upgrades for chambers; places approval on next meeting agenda
Summary
Council discussed replacing projectors and upgrading cameras/computer for council-chamber AV—estimated roughly $10–12k—and asked staff to place the purchase on the next meeting agenda for a vote. Members said improved video will increase transparency and public engagement.
Councilmembers debated a proposal to upgrade council-chamber audio/visual equipment, including two projectors, two cameras (one to show the audience, one for council), and a new computer to handle streaming and recording. Staff reported component pricing around $10,000–$12,000 and said Scott can perform installation if the equipment is purchased.
Some members said the upgrades would improve public transparency and make it easier for viewers to identify speakers during meetings; others asked about return on investment and whether the upgrades would measurably increase engagement. The council directed staff to place the AV purchase decision on the next meeting agenda for a formal vote and budgeting decision.
