the coordination and communication between the County Administrator, staff
and department heads for improved information and presentations to the
Board. The alterations involve increasing the size of the staff table,
extending the railing and increasing the staff seating area. The Committee
concurs in the recommendation and that the project proceed immediately.
The Committee further discussed the need for improved security provisions
in the Board Chambers such as expanding the emergency call system and other
potential security measures and requests that the Public Works Department
be directed to study the matter further for recommendations. In addition,
it is recommended that Public Works review the furniture and layout of the
chambers to provide improved provisions for community meetings, including a
review of the decor of the room to bring in a more human element to the
atmosphere.
As part of the general discussion of improvements, the Committee further
requests that the Sheriff-Coroner, Communications Division be directed to
provide improved microphones in the existing public address system on a
trial basis to determine the extent of improvements needed to the overall
system.
