5. Purchase of Video Conferencing BarsDate of Meeting: February 1, 2023
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Colleen Firkus, Treasurer
Subject: Equipment for small meetings
While preparing for a Microsoft TEAMS meeting between the Sister City Committee and the
Mellrud, Sweden counterpart, Anne discovered the Council Chambers is not set up to run a
TEAMS meeting through our big AV system. Our technical advisor from EMI suggested adding a
Video Conferencing Bar mounted to the top of the big screen TV. This has a camera and a
microphone and is appropriate for streaming meetings of small groups within 20 feet of the TV.
It simplifies the technical aspects of running a small meeting.
Attached is a quote for the cost of two view bars and installation. The quote is for two view
bars as the Council may want to consider adding it to the other large TV for small meetings in
the hall. Costs would be covered by the Cable TV fund which has a cash balance of $9, 272. The
2023 budget expects Revenue of $20,500 and Expenditures of $9,100.
I recommend making this purchase as running the big AV system for small meetings has been a
barrier for staff supporting those meetings.
