Orduno stated that she no longer has to move from her <br />office because of lack of space for meetings. Orduno explained that <br />the Council Chambers is used a lot and that people no longer have to <br />meet in the lunch room or kitchen downstairs. <br />Mayor Linke spoke to Tim Cruikshank about getting speakers in the back <br />of the Chambers. <br />Don Brager, Finance Director-Treasurer, stated that there had been a <br />proposal to update the video equipment in the Council Chambers. The <br />City is looking at having a document camera and from the document <br />camera the image would go to the cable audience and to the monitors in <br />the room. Part of the proposal was to put a public address system into <br />the Councilroom and out into the foyer. This is an item which is a <br />combination of budget from the 1993 budget and a grant from the cable <br />. commission. This may become a reality yet this year for the <br />Councilroom. <br />
