Following the Aug. 13 council meeting, Community Development Director Laura Miller discovered that there was both audio and visual failures with the YouTube recording of the meeting, so there will be no usable video of the meeting, according to City Manager Amber Withycombe.
Withycombe said it’s ironic because in that meeting the council approved a proposal to contract with Schiller’s Audio Visual to replace and upgrade the A/V systems in council chambers.
Following an RFP process, city staff recommended accepting a bid from Schiller’s Audio
Visual for $122,849.51. This recommendation is based on the firm’s capability to meet the city’s needs, their responsiveness to the RFP, and positive references from other municipalities, according to the meeting information packet.
The proposed upgrade will provide a robust, high-quality space for local presentations and
conferencing, with improved video and audio capture, large displays, and a user-friendly control system, according to the city.
