Item 90 Passed 8-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The Council is set to authorize six contracts covering audio/visual and TV broadcast gear, products, and related services for use across all City departments. The deals run an initial two years with up to three one-year extensions, and they matter because they keep everything from council chambers cameras to department AV setups running citywide. The combined contracts can't exceed $27,330,000 split among the vendors, with $2,129,167 available now in the current budget and the rest contingent on future budgets.
