Memorandum <br /> To: St.Anthnony Planning Commissioners <br /> CC: Sue Henry <br /> From: Doug Bergstrom,Chair �Cyz <br /> Date: 11/16/00 <br /> Re: Televised Meetings <br /> I recently viewed the tape of our October meeting to see how our meetings came across to viewers. <br /> After viewing the tape, I would like to make the following suggestions to the commission to help us <br /> be more viewer-friendly and to shape our image a bit: <br /> 1. Use of microphones: Be aware that the microphones pick up voices best when the speaker is <br /> within about 6 inches of the microphone. Please lean forward in your chair and speak into the <br /> microphone so that viewers can better hear commissioner's comments and questions. <br /> 2. Storage of outerwear: In the past,we have had no place to store coats other than the back of <br /> our chairs or the floor,neither of which is desirable. I talked about this with Mike Mornson,and he <br /> suggested that we store our coats etc. in the storage area near the video room. Sue Henry will get us <br /> access to this room prior to our meetings. <br /> 3. Attire: I believe that our attire should reflect our respect for citizens and meeting attendees. <br /> For televised meetings,I think coat and ties are appropriate(and the equivalent for women),and that <br /> business casual is appropriate for non-televised meetings(work sessions,etc.). I have also asked Sue <br /> to find a way to be able to control the temperature in the room during the meetings,which,for some <br /> reason,has been an unattainable goal in the past. <br /> If you have any questions,or have other ideas along these lines,please let Sue or me know. Thank you <br /> for your cooperation in presenting the Planning Commission and our work in the clearest and best way <br /> possible. <br /> E _ <br />
