2 <br /> broadcast systems. Attachment 1, "Dais Terminal Set", is a sample illustration of these types of <br /> connections installed within the dais and accessible at the work surface. Individual monitor <br /> connections as mentioned earlier may also be available in the dais panel. <br /> Non dais meeting setup viewing — Concern over bulkhead mounted video monitor viewing is <br /> addressed by re-orienting the meeting table setup to utilize the wall mounted monitors near the <br /> "front" of the room. Attachment 2, "Alternate Floor Meeting Configurations", illustrates how <br /> individuals seated at the table are closer to the large monitors as well as to the podium monitor. <br /> The illustrations also depict flexible audience seating arrangements since this seating is <br /> detached and portable. Additionally, the center pilaster on both sides of the room will also <br /> contain video monitor connections for portable monitors if needed. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost for the 60" podium monitor is approximately $4,000, with some <br /> of the cost driven by the integration of the unit within the podium millwork. The individual <br /> monitors with mount and wiring installed are estimated at $1,000 each. As staff investigates <br /> and tests additional visual aid technologies supporting the dais, the estimated costs of the <br /> systems will be provided to the Board. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br /> 1) continue review of the visual aid technology elements related to the dais and floor <br /> meeting video content viewing identified by the Board; <br /> 2) receive demonstrations of the proposed podium mounted visual display and a dais <br /> mounted display; and <br /> 3) authorize the Manager to proceed with the podium mounted display and the study of <br /> visual display technologies that integrate into devices provided to the Board. <br />
