City of West University Place will be upgrading the audio visual equipment in its municipal building.
During its April 13 meeting, the West University Place city council voted unanimously to approve nearly $100,000 in upgrades for both the city council chambers and conference room. The vote comes after the item initially came to the council during its Jan. 13 meeting.
“Both rooms also serve as training space for staff and residents (CPR, first aid, etc.), meetings for regional professional associations, overflow space during natural emergencies (call center, etc.) and internal staff meetings,” according to an agenda report on the upgrades. “In essence, these rooms serve as versatile space that is adjusted to meet the City’s needs.”
City staff came to the council requesting nearly $53,000 in upgrades, which would have included upgrading the control system, audio and video processors, speakers and microphones, extending the warranty and maintenance of the upgrades to one year, and upgrading the system to a 16-port switch — up from eight — which would allow future expansion.
