BACKGROUND 2020 highlighted the need to modernize the audio/video infrastructure to support a fully hybrid meeting environment, ensuring physical and remote attendance capabilities for Council and Committee meetings. CURRENT ROOM CONFIGURATIONS Council Chambers: • Requires a physical staff presence for computer, camera, TV and audio controls, acting as a liaison between the physical and remote meeting functionality. • Analog connectivity requires physical devices; rolltop desk, server cabinet, wiring, camera control board, laptop, and recording controls for TV21. • The bulk of equipment was purchased in 2012, and currently unsupported by the manufacturers. Committee Meeting Rooms (Duwamish and Hazelnut): • No current hardware to support hybrid meeting capabilities that would allow physical and remote attendance, or broadcasting to the public, which the Council implemented in 2021 via the MS Teams interface DISCUSSION Technology and Innovation Services is seeking Council guidance and consideration of funding to support refining bids with vendors. Currently we have the following three options: Council Chambers, Option #1- Minimal Updates to Technology - $10,000 Main Actions • Purchase dedicated PC to support hybrid Council and Committee Meeting Benefits • Support for remote meeting attendees. • Minor funding needed. Challenges • Requires additional TIS staff member to facilitate hybrid meetings. • Noise pollution from analog equipment /servers / camera controls in the council chambers 7 8 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 • Bulk of equipment falls out of manufacturer support and warranty. Council Chambers, Option #2- Modernize Some Technology - $75,000 Main Actions • Three predetermined automated camera tracking(e.g., Right Dais, Left Dais, Center Dais,) based upon the active speaker, for sustained period of time. • Remove or relocate existing physical equipment at the back of the room. • Re -purpose existing Nexia sound system, still supported. • Configure & install Crestron control panel, providing a sole management interface for the control of audio and video. • Purchase dedicated PC to support hybrid Council and Committee Meeting Parts acquisition, installation, programming, testing, and training. Benefits • Support for remote meeting attendees. • Providing automated camera functionality. e.g, auto -zoom camera to right, left and center dais, pre -positioning, based upon active speaker. • Enhanced digital audio and video communications for Council members. • Refreshed equipment, wiring, manufacturer support, and warranty. Challenges • Still requires two TIS staff to support. • Zoom camera functionality to highlight Council members will require manual intervention. • Existing microphones re -purposed Council Chambers, Option #3- Modernize All Main Actions • Install Televic System, which includes eight touchscreens, cameras, microphones, and seven conference units with microphones. • Streaming media processor. • Re -purpose existing Nexia sound system, still supported. • Install Assisted Listening Systems. • Remove or relocate existing physical equipment at the back of the room. Technology - $200,000 • Configure & install Crestron control panel, providing a sole management interface for the control of audio and video. • Install three to five digital cameras with auto -tracking • Install five 75" monitors • Parts acquisition, installation, programming, testing, and training. • Purchase dedicated PC to support hybrid Council and Committee Meeting Benefits • Support for remote meeting attendees. • Providing automated camera functionality. e.g, auto -zoom camera to active speaker. • Agenda submission on microphone screen. • Digital voting capabilities for Council, the voting results can be private or publicly broadcast in the Chambers. • Enhanced digital audio and video communications for Council members. • Refreshed equipment, wiring, manufacturer support, and warranty. Challenges • Increased funding needed. INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 Committee Meeting Rooms, Duwamish and Hazelnutt- Separate at $4,000 Main Actions • Outfit each room with Logitech Group, see handout. Benefits • Enables remote meeting attendance with video capability. Challenges • None FINANCIAL IMPACT Technology and Innovation Services is seeking Council guidance and funding for the above. Initial review of the technology resulted in a broad range of proposals that brought price points for hardware, software, and configuration options, that ranged from $10,000 — $200,000 with Committee rooms separate at $4,000. RECOMMENDATION At a minimum Technology and Innovation Services would recommend Option 2, which would meet the majority of immediate needs. Council Chambers- TIS would like to remove analog equipment in the back of the room, removing end -of -life equipment and complexity to manage video component of the meetings, relocating physical equipment to a network closet outside of the chambers. Committee Rooms- Outfitted with equipment to support Hybrid meetings. Technology and Innovation Services is asking for Committee direction on options and next steps.

Looking Ahead: Holding "Hybrid" Public Meetings April 29, 2021 by Emma Diamond Category: Legislative Body pandemic, technological and communication issues have been challenging to can be easier to facilitate but have their own challenges with engagement and The COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging to local governments on many levels, including a pivot to holding remote meetings for health and safety reasons. With Washington counties shifting to different COVID-19 phases to open up, some local governments are starting to consider whether to transition back to in-person public meetings. While virtual meetings have been helpful in keeping local government employees and residents safe during the overcome. In-person public meetings accessibility. Combining remote and in-person attendance into a "hybrid public meeting" option may be a good approach for your jurisdiction to consider, and this blog will provide an overview of the model, including how some Washington cities are approaching the topic. Benefits of the Hybrid Public Meeting Model This hybrid model has many benefits for communities and the public. Several local governments have noted increased attendance at public meetings since switching over to a virtual option due to pandemic restrictions. Online meeting platforms allow people to access and participate in meetings from their home or workplace, but it also limits access to those attendees who have the requisite technology needed to attend a virtual meeting. In-person meetings may also limit the people who can participate because it requires attendees to appear at a designated place during a specific time. Providing both virtual and in-person meeting options, e.g., the hybrid public meeting model, would appear to improve equitable access to local government. An individual who cannot attend a public meeting in person due to a disability, work, or other commitment can chose the virtual option while anyone who does not have the technological capability to participate online can opt for in-person attendance. 11 1 of 4 6/7/2021, 4:04 PM MRSC - Looking Ahead: Holding "Hybrid" Public Meetings https://mrsc.org/Home/Stay-Informed/MRSC-Insight/April-2021/Holdi... What Are Washington Local Governments Doing? MRSC conducted a survey of Washington city clerks to understand how local governments are accommodating public meetings currently and whether they plan to transition to a hybrid model once the pandemic recedes. From the 80+ cities that responded to the survey, 32 jurisdictions said that they are planning on conducting hybrid public meetings in the future, 11 said that they would be returning to the in-person (only) public meeting format, and 35 said that they were unsure (see the graph below). 40 35 30 o 25 U 20 0 ,5 att 10 5 0 Model Do you anticipate your city going to a hybrid model when returning to in-person meetings? 14 19 Yes *Currently in. 5 30 Maybe/ Not Sure No ■ Currently virtual ■Currently hybrid A major reason for those local governments that plan to use the hybrid model in the future was voiced by Sue Ann Spens, Hunts Point City Clerk, who said, "We would like the option to continue hybrid meetings at a minimum to accommodate those who may be wary of attending in- person:' Challenges of the Hybrid Regardless of whether an agency will be using the hybrid approach or just returning to in-person meetings, many local governments indicated via the survey that they would be addressing public safety/health concerns prior to allowing people to attend in-person meetings. These steps include requiring masks, social distancing, limiting capacity, and providing hand sanitzer for those individuals who attend in person. Some cities also said they were considering temperature checks for staff and elected officials and having an overflow room to accommodate additional members of the public once capacity is reached in the main meeting location. 45 40 35 30 25 3 20 ° 15 10 5 0 How are you addressing public safety at in-person meetings? Masks Social Distanang Limiting Capacity Providing Hand Limiting the sanitzer number of people using public restroom respondents: In the MRSC survey, cities were asked how they will be handling interactions with in-person and virtual attendees. This could include allowing for both in- person and virtual public comments in a meeting or having staff read comments aloud for virtual attendees. A wide variety of solutions are currently being utilized or are under consideration. Here is a sampling of the comments from survey • Ritzville: "We are utilizing a camera to show the in-person council meeting. Due to limited broadband capacity, we are also using the phone so everyone can hear each other whether in person or over the phone. If the Wi-Fi goes down, then we at least still [have a] connection through the phone:' Julie Flyckt, City Clerk • Enumclaw: "[We have t]wo large television monitors in Council Chambers that can be seen by attendees and also 12 2 of 4 6/7/2021, 4:04 PM MRSC - Looking Ahead: Holding "Hybrid" Public Meetings https://mrsc.org/Home/Stay-Informed/MRSC-Insight/April-2021/Holdi... to livestream/tv audience. [The meeting host will] use 'pin' feature to keep Councilmembers on the screen, and only add public and staff members to the large screen when they are speaking:' Maureen Burwell, City Clerk • Moses Lake: "[R]emote attendees are audio only, except an occasional remote presentation: Debbie Burke, City Clerk Lack of technological capabilities was a primary concern of cities looking to go hybrid for their public meetings. A number of cities expressed that a lack of adequate finances or insufficient staffing levels were barriers to conducting hybrid public meetings. • Ilwaco: "Our small city only has 2 FTE administrative employees who assist [the] mayor and council. It would be very difficult to monitor a public meeting while ensuring safety guidelines in person, as well as conducting a hybrid meeting with limited resources: Holly Beller, Treasurer • Prescott: "The City would like to update City Hall to have...[a] television monitor and laptop to conduct meetings in our conference room; finances are not allowing the City to update at this time:' Linda Vannoster, Clerk -Treasurer • Duvall: "Duvall is in research mode for technology that can accommodate [the] hybrid model. Facility and technology needs are our biggest hurdles:' Jodi Wycoff, City Clerk Many communities are still conducting completely virtual meetings, but as we prepare to go back to more in-person activities, now may be the time to ask your community what works for them. Taking inventory of what resources you have to accommodate different meeting platforms may result in more meaningful engagement and more opportunities for community members to participate in your local government's activities.
