Date: 12-08-2008
Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $4,000 from the General Fund PEG Reserve for
Audio Improvements in the City Council Chambers
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary:
It has been noted for some time that the quality of the current audio system in the City Council
Chambers needs improving. Staff and interested City Councilors have reviewed the current
setup and have been pursuing improvements to sound quality both within the room and over the
government channel. At this time, we recommend appropriating $4,000 from the PEG Reserve
for this purpose. The PEG Reserve was established as part of the City's cable television
franchise agreement to hold payments made by the cable provider to support the City's cable
channels. These funds must be used for the government channels.
The planned improvements include new speakers, amplifier, dual band equalizers, channel
compressor, and wireless microphone. Several staff and Councilors recently participated in a
demonstration of some this equipment and noted a marked improvement in volume and sound
quality.
