Qualifications <br />2) Provide an improved experience for Council Members and attendees of meetings held in this chamber by <br />greatly improved sound coverage and speech intelligibility; easy presentation and viewing of computer graphics, <br />recorded media, paper documents and objects using a new Digital Media display system. Provide new technology <br />methods of current processes such as replacing existing voting system buttons and display board with a touch <br />screen voting and speaker queue system that displays results on the video displays within and outside the chamber <br />as desired. <br />3) Provide a "video overflow" capability to the lobby at the back of the chamber as well as the Sister Cities room. <br />Council Chamber specific improvements: <br />Dais <br />Each station will receive a ten inch touch screen for voting and speaker queue (request to speak) functions. The <br />Mayors screen will display the speaking order and have a "next speaker function". Every other station will receive <br />a nineteen inch video display for viewing laptop presentations, document camera or other signal sources in great <br />detail. This is far more cost effective than provide each member with one large "does it all" touch screen. Each <br />station at the dais, podium, staff tables and clerk table will receive a new microphone/speaker station. The plate <br />and speaker will be let into the countertops so all that is above the countertop is the high quality goose neck <br />microphone with a halo light to indicate on/off status. The speaker will be below the countertop and sound will <br />emanate from louvers in each plate. The audio from each plate will be a true "Mix-Minus"- in other words all the <br />microphones except the one at that specific location will be heard at that station. This greatly reduces the risk of <br />audio feed back or "ringing". The dais will also receive 3 computer display input ports-two on the backsplash <br />distributed among the council seats and one near the Mayor/City Manager end of the dais. <br />Clerk Table <br />The clerk location will receive a ten inch touch panel for Audio Visual system and room control as well as a monitor <br />for video display. The A/V touch panel will also control the speaker timer functions. The clerk will also receive a <br />new mic/speaker station similar to the units at the dais. <br />Staff Tables <br />Staff tables will receive 2 new mic/speaker stations each as well as one video display monitor each. <br />Podium <br />The podium location will receive a video monitor, speaker timer lights and clock, and a "target" panel for use with <br />the overhead, high resolution ceiling mounted document camera. It will also receive a mic/speaker station with a <br />longer gooseneck microphone to address the fact that the speaker will be standing. <br />Chamber Space <br />All of the existing ceiling speakers will be replaced with high quality Tannoy full range speakers to provide much <br />improved coverage, fidelity and intelligibility. The center speaker will be removed since it's function will be <br />replaced by speakers at each microphone. There will be two separate stereo program speakers in the wall behind <br />and above the Mayor and City Manager location for the purpose of reproducing media from laptops or disks such <br />as programming with musical content. The audio system will be equipped to handle audio conferencing in the <br />AVI^S^SPL <br />AVI-SPL 2012 Page|4
