Committee hears options for audio-visual upgrade in commission chambers

Minnehaha County Building Committee · March 1, 2026

Summary

The committee heard an overview of an audio-visual upgrade plan from AVI Systems, covering monitor vs. iPad options for commissioners, camera placement, automation features and whether to reuse existing televisions or purchase new commercial displays.

At its Jan. 5 meeting the Minnehaha County Building Committee received a presentation on an audio-visual upgrade for county chambers. Craig Dewey introduced Chuck Risty, account manager for AVI Systems, who reviewed the original plan and additional options for consideration.

Discussion during the presentation touched on whether commissioners should use individual monitors or iPads, preferred camera placement, automation and volume-stabilization controls, and whether to continue using current televisions or replace them with new commercial models. The presentation was framed as an overview of options; the transcript does not record a final decision or vote on which components the county will adopt.

Committee members asked about operational implications and device preferences; Dewey and Risty answered technical and procurement questions during the exchange. No formal procurement action or funding allocation is recorded in the transcript.
