• • • Rockford Council Chambers We installed the new presentation monitors in the Rockford council chambers and the commission received a very nice compliment and thank you from their City Administrator, Dan Madsen as well as the city council. Council Chamber Presentation Computer Systems and Touch Panel Installs Since the last commission meeting we have upgraded the older council meeting presentation computers in many of our cities and are currently in the process of upgrading others. These systems allow staff and council to display documents so that they can be seen by the audience in the chambers as well as by those watching via the cable TV coverage. The new touch monitors have been installed in all cities and these allow the presenters to annotate documents. These new touch monitors conclude the upgrade process from the SmartBoard Sympodiums that we needed to replace. I'm very happy to report that we no longer have to pay any subscription fees for use of the Sympodium software. Sherburne Wright Equipment Purchase Requests 3 Camera Portable System This summer in order to cover multiple events that were happening on the same day I pulled together a portable recording system that was easy to use and setup in areas where the host city did not have the room to park our production trailer. I used equipment that we already own but had never put together in this way. We used it to cover the Monticello parade, Watertown parade and the Rockford Coronation. The volunteers liked using it and it allowed us to cover events that we would not have been able to record. I showed this to the production staff in Elk River and they expressed interest in using it if we could package it in an easy to move configuration. In the past the producer used 2-3 separate cameras and then edited the footage together later. It was very time consuming and it sometimes took weeks to get the events on the city cable TV channels. 5
