Don Brager, Finance Director -Treasurer, stated that there had been a proposal to update the video equipment in the Council Chambers. The City is looking at having a document camera and from the document camera the image would go to the cable audience and to the monitors in the room. Part of the proposal was to put a public address system into the Councilroom and out into the foyer. This is an item which is a combination of budget from the 1993 budget and a grant from the cable commission. This may become a reality yet this year for the Councilroom.
