29 1 Commissioner Pelissier asked how everyone will see the monitor during joint work 2 sessions. 3 David Taylor showed the view from the podium. He said the layout will be oval shaped, 4 and the three monitors will still be visible. He said the people behind the podium will have a 5 separate set of monitors. He said everyone on the south end of the room should have a good 6 view. He said the people at the north end will still have a good view of the lecturn. 7 Commissioner Rich asked if Michael Talbert could duplicate the size of the lecturn at the 8 Chapel Hill Town Hall. 9 Commissioner Gordon asked if the podium is movable. 10 David Taylor said yes. 11 Chair Jacobs asked if it is possible to have some of the monitors on swivels to allow 12 them to be angled for better view. 13 David Taylor said the monitors are planned to be angled at 15 degrees. He said 14 research can be done on this. 15 Chair Jacobs said the monitors are energy hogs. He said there needs to be a built in 16 way to turn off the ones that are not being used. 17 He said it also seems like there are a lot of monitors. He asked if there could be fewer, 18 especially if the project runs up against budget constraints. 19 David Evans said there is flexibility to scale back if desired. 20 Chair Jacobs said he would be interested to see the 60 inch or 80 inch monitor. He said 21 this might address some of the concerns. 22 He said he can also see a point where Commissioners might want to have some touch 23 screen capabilities in front of them. He said an alternative to individual devices would be to 24 have a built in computer monitor in front of all members of the Board. 25 Jeff Thompson asked if Chair Jacobs is asking for a laptop or monitor function. 26 Chair Jacobs suggested both be considered. He suggested it might be good to build in 27 some flexibility. 28 Commissioner Gordon said it is fine to consider different alternatives. She said this 29 room is going to be in use for a long time, and technology will change. She said it may be 30 better to set up wiring up front to prepare for future use and future technology. She suggested 31 using the type of monitors shown tonight in the presentation rather than a device built into the 32 dais. 33 Jeff Thompson said the technology piece is separate from the construction document 34 and the bid process. He said there will be time to move forward before the final component 35 installation has to be done. 36 37 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier for 38 the Board to: 39 40 Authorize the Interim County Manager to award the construction bid for the project up 41 to the capital project budget during the Winter break, subject to final County Attorney approval. 42 43 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 44 45 d. Policy for Commemorative Plaques for County Facilities 46 The Board provided guidance to the Interim County Manager on the crafting of a 47 proposed policy for commemorative plaque design and installation for County facilities. 48 Jeff Thompson said the plaque in the hallway is a 24 inch x 24 inch anodized aluminum 49 plaque that is not designed to go outside. He said it is finished to have a brass appearance and 50 it is the standard in the County.
