Approve inclusion of funding for replacement of the public address system in the Board Chambers in the 1985-1986 budget. 2. Consider funding for carpeting in the Board Chambers as a compo- nent of the acoustical system improvements and refer to the Finance Commit- tee for 1985-1986 budget review. 3 . Direct Public Works to provide the Finance Committee a report of cost and recommended improvements for alterations in the Board Chambers to improve audio-visual, map and graphics display facilities. BACKGROUND: The Finance Committee, on March 4, 1985, received a report from the County Administrator, Public Works and the Sheriff ' s Communications Divi- sion recommending complete replacement of the sound system in the Board Chambers. Problems related to the system are a result of outdated equip- ment and poor acoustics in the room: The recommended proposal includes full carpeting within the room to remedy the acoustical problem and maxi- mize the effectiveness of the proposed new public address system. The estimated cost for the proposal is $23 , 000 for the carpeting and $22 ,000 for the replacement public address system. No funds are currently available for either component of the recommendation. The Committee concurs in the need for upgrading the public address system and recommends including the funding in the 1985-1986 budget. The Committee further recommends that consideration of installing carpeting be a referral to the Finance Committee for review for potential funding in 1985-1986 if suffi- cient funds are determined to be available. In addition to the improvements to the sound system, the Committee requested the Public Works Department to review the possibilities and cost for improving the facilities in the ' Board Chambers for audio-visual, mapping and graphics displays and presentations. The review is to include provisions for a screen for film, slides and overhead projector presenta- tions as well as other visual aides: Public Works was requested to review the alternatives and provide a report to the Finance Committee for budget consideration.
