<br />Memo <br />Council Chambers- Technology Upgrades <br />2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />sustained damage. This damage is in the form of numerous horizontal lines on the display. <br />Experts have pointed the problem to a power surge that had occurred back in 2003. The damage <br />is getting worse and is getting difficult to read and see the contents on the screen. The cost to <br />purchase locally is $285 per unit. Staff recommends that we replace all units that are installed on <br />the dias as well as the staff seating areas. These add up to nine units at a total cost of $2,565. <br />(Please see Ken Gammel's attached memo for details). Prior to installing new monitors, surge <br />protectors will be installed in order prevent similar damage in the future. <br /> <br />The third item for consideration is the installation of the large screen monitor. Currently, the <br />Council and staff are unaware of what is being transmitted on the cable. It is recommended that <br />a large screen Plasma monitor be installed in the back of the Council Chambers to verify the <br />content and timing of the transmission. Another option explored was to show the cable <br />transmission on the individual monitors. This would require a picture in picture technology, <br />which would cost approximately $10,000. The single large screen monitor with installation will <br />cost about $3,351. <br /> <br />The total cost of all proposed improvements adds up to $9,116. No funds were specifically <br />budgeted for this purpose in the 2005 Budget. These improvements are eligible to be funded out <br />of the Cable Fund. This fund currently has a fund of balance of about $275,000. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION: <br />Information has been provided for discussion purposes. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
