Commission approves $59,939 audio‑visual overhaul to modernize meeting room and accessibility

Staff recommended VisionLink AV to replace the commission-room audio‑visual system at a cost of $59,939.43. The proposed solution includes a Q‑Sys platform to manage streaming and audio, replacement of microphone bases and arms with fixed tabletop units, two dias microphones for commission use, a Microsoft Teams PC for meeting streaming, and at least one hearing‑assistance receiver and headset initially with the option to order more if needed.

Commissioners asked about bid tabs, timeline and potential downtime; staff said the installation will be built side‑by‑side to avoid downtime, and construction is expected to be brief once equipment arrives. The commission moved, seconded and approved the selection and contract.
