the sound issues in Chambers. Initial changes (speakers, microphones, etc.) to the sound system were made
but it was determined that additional physical changes were required to reduce the impact the hard surfaces
have on sound quality, especially echoing, in Council Chambers.
ichael Hogan, Facilities and Operations Manager, solicited quotes for the purchase and installation of
acoustical panels and determined Acoustic Enterprises had best product and price. The quoted price is
$9,349 .86. The additional $650.14 will be held as contingency.
