The gist
The $87,058 project includes installation of new microphones, ceiling-mounted speakers and high-definition displays to enhance sound and visibility during public meetings, according to the agenda packet. The upgrades also add an assisted listening system for hearing-impaired attendees and new control features for easier meeting operation.
Under the agreement, Ford Audio-Video Systems will replace and modernize existing equipment, install a digital signal processor for clearer sound and integrate new video distribution systems to mirror presentations across multiple screens. The project will take about 14 weeks from approval to completion, per the agenda.
The city also approved a $3,123 extended warranty covering a third year of maintenance and service.
