From: Director of Finance &Treasurer
Re: Large Conference Room Improvements
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider amending the Fiscal Year 2000-01
budget to provide up to $5,000 for improvements to the Large Conference Room in
City Hall.
Summary:
The Large Conference Room is used by Council study sessions and a number of other
meetings that are televised. The proposed improvements consist primarily of adding
large draperies along two walls, relocation of some of the wall mounted cameras, and
miscellaneous equipment changes. The improvements would provide a better
background for televised meetings, and expand the possibilities of the room's use.
Background:
The City's PSCTV staff has explored the cost of improving the televising capabilities of
the Large Conference Room in City Hall. Installation of draperies would provide a more
appropriate backdrop for televising, and allow different configurations of the room than
are currently available. Relocation of the cameras would allow better lines of sight and
add a more professional look to the overall production.
Preliminary quotes received by staff indicate the cost for good quality draperies would
be about$4,300. The total cost of the project will be under$5,000.
A budget amendment appropriating the required funds is attached.
