07. Staff Report- Council Chambers AV Install
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: 04/06/2022
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Charles Fischer - Director of Public Works
Subject: Council Chambers Audio Visual
Background:
Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and policies related, the City Council has been meeting in the Main
Hall for public meetings. An upgrade to the audio-visual equipment by EMI Audio was completed to support
the ability to stream and have live interaction with remote members of the Council, residents, or other
professionals. The upgrade to the Main Hall resulted in at a cost of $84,824.77. In recent meetings, the Council
has suggested moving meetings back in to the Council Chambers. To have the same capabilities as the Main
Hall, the Council Chambers will require an upgrade to the AV system. The Cable TV Fund will be used to
support the upgrade of the AV system.
Issue:
To fully utilize the Council Chambers, an upgrade of the AV system is required to match the capabilities of the
Main Hall and to continue remote live interaction during meetings. Should the City upgrade the AV system in
the Council Chambers to match the Main Hall system?
Proposal Details:
Public Works received a quote from EMI Audio , the same supplier and installer of the original system, which
includes all necessary hardware, components, and equipment to complete the Council Chamber upgrade.
Public Works contacted EMI to ensure a complete match of new equipment to the originally installed system.
The new system components will match the existing system and will be able to run together or independently
between each room. The Hall or Heritage Rooms will be available for overflow if the Council Chamber Room is
unable to support a high volume of spectators or presenting parties. The timing of the installation will be
weighed heavily on the approval of this proposal and at that time all the necessary components will be
ordered for the project. Delay in the availability of products is only growing and a timely approval will allow a
closer return to the Council Chambers. (See Packet Item: EMI Quote Council Chambers Upgrade)
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact to upgrade the Council Chambers is $38,680.18 and will be supported by the Cable TV Fund.
Options:
1. Upgrade the AV system through EMI Audio in the amount of $38,680.18 for the ability to move public
meetings back into the Council Chambers.
2. Do not upgrade the AV equipment at this time.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
