Background <br />City staff was made aware of two issues that council members have with the council chambers dias (the <br />desk the council members sit at inside the council chambers). <br />• Issue 1: This is in regards to the low visibility of council members from the audience due to the <br />frontal/fagade height of the council desk. <br />• Issue2: This is in regards to the low leg space that the council desk provides; which may not <br />allow council members sufficient leg/knee clearance. <br />In an attempt to address both issues stated above, city staff has requested contractor bids on two <br />separate possible alterations to the council chambers dias. <br />• Option 1: lower the desk facade/front by 4." <br />(Establish better visibility of council members) <br />• Option 2: raise the desk platform by 2." <br />(Establish more clearance for legs/knees) <br />Please note that council members are not limited to the above two options. These options are <br />presented as a base line to begin council discussions. Other options have been also considered. <br />However, the above options two options are likely the most cost effective. <br />On the page two is a visual of the two options. On pages 3-6 are the costs and bids associated with this <br />project. <br />Lastly, if the desk top is dropped the tops of the computer monitors will be exposed. Staff has also <br />provided a remedy for that problem: a LCD wall mount. This mount would allow monitors to be <br />dropped about 3 inches. NOTE: the old fixed mounts do not allow you do drop the height of monitors. <br />Please see page 7 for details. <br />Page 1 <br />
