Extensive overhaul of the aging audio visual system in Town Council Chambers is underway
|
|
|
|
Town Council and advisory board and committee meetings have been postponed until the work is completed, which is expected to be in time for regular Town Council meetings to resume on March 7.
Town Council authorized this overhaul
on June 7, 2021, after recommendations by Bonita Video.
Due to slowdowns in manufacturing and shipping of goods that has been experienced nationally, the necessary equipment for this overhaul has trickled in gradually since Town Council authorized this project.
