City Council Regular Meeting - OS/24/04 Minutes - Page 9 Discussion ensued regarding linking of the two systems. At the request of Mayor Klausing, Communications Specialist Tim Pratt responded that wiring would be provided to link both areas, but in case of an EOC event, emergency personnel preferred that no disruption occur in the lower level that would detract from the situation at hand. Mr. Pratt advised that the lower level system would be used primarily for training sessions, but that both areas would be accessible for the emergency generator. City Manager Beets advised Councilmembers that the dais display panels would be fully recessed in new dais. Councilmember Kough sought clarification on the expertise of the system's designers, and the City's recourse ifit was found to be operationally inadequate. City Manager Beets advised that the City was utilizing the expertise of engineering personnel from C- TV and the Cable Commission, noting their expertise, and further noted that the equipment would be under warranty. Councilmember Schroeder opined that the City had very capable staff in this area; and noted that the expertise provided by C- TV was included in the community hours allotted to each City (100 hours) as part of the Cable Commission's franchise fee agreement. Maschka moved, Schroeder seconded, authorizing staff to purchase audio visual equipment off the state contract bid list in the amount of $26,048.45, plus tax and delivery charges from Alpha Video and $880 plus tax from EP A Video, as listed on the equipment price list for the system design charts as part of the staff report dated May 24,2004. Roll Call Ayes: Schroeder, Maschka, Ihlan, Kough and Klausing. Nays: None. Moment of Silence Moment of Silence
