Council majority backs exploring live-streaming; vendor estimate ~$4,150–$4,200
Summary
Recorder Nicole Supp reported an IT estimate of about $4,150 (roughly $4,200) to add camera, microphone and cabling needed for live-streaming; four council members supported using remaining MIDA funds while one opposed; staff will gather platform details and proceed.
Recorder Nicole Supp told the council that the City's current microphones and cameras were incompatible with live-streaming and that the IT vendor estimated the cost for replacement camera, microphone and cabling at "approximately $4,150, or roughly $4,200." She asked whether the Council would support using remaining MIDA funds (approximate balance discussed at $47,000) to cover the expense.
Council Member Nakisha Rigley and Council Member Katherine Hunter voiced support for the purchase as a public-accessibility improvement; Council Member Ricky Carlson opposed, noting that the City's current audio recordings met legal requirements. Mayor Scott Wiggill said four Council Members supported moving forward and directed Recorder Supp to gather more information about streaming platforms and any recurring fees so staff could proceed with preparations.
