County IT outlines auditorium AV failures and ADA upgrades; staff to return with cost options
Summary
The county's IT director reported aging projectors and unreliable microphones in the Admin Building auditorium and recommended upgrades including TV displays, microphone replacement, and hearing assistance equipment to meet ADA requirements; staff will present cost comparisons at the July 14 meeting.
IT Director Alan Berry told the Board that the auditorium's audiovisual equipment has become increasingly unreliable and is reaching end of useful life. He recommended possible upgrades: replacing aging projectors with television displays, upgrading microphones, and adding hearing-assistance equipment to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements.
Board members discussed estimated costs, equipment life expectancy, maintenance considerations and long-term replacement options. Chairman Carty Yowell asked staff to obtain comparative cost information and recommendations; County Administrator Jonathon Weakley confirmed staff would aim to return to the Board with the information at the July 14, 2026 meeting.
