Summary

The council approved Resolution No. 28-2025 to accept a Granicus proposal for new remote and broadcast equipment at a one-time cost of $55,935.44 and annual licensing fees of $1,700.50; staff proposed using contingency funds split among the general, water and sewer funds.

City staff presented Resolution No. 28-2025 authorizing acceptance of a Granicus proposal to replace the council chamber’s broadcast and livestream equipment.

Staff said the package would cost $55,935.44 as a one-time purchase with annual licensing fees of $1,700.50. Because the replacement was not budgeted, staff proposed using contingency funds split among the general, water and sewer funds so the public could continue to view meetings.

The council moved and seconded the resolution during the meeting; roll-call votes were recorded as 'yay' by the commissioners present and the resolution carried.

Staff noted the current equipment has been faulty for months and replacement was needed to restore stable livestreaming of council meetings.
