Council Agenda Item 9a
MEETING DATE: April 15, 2019
AGENDA ITEM: Cable Access Equipment
SUBMITTED BY: Administration
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: When the City moved into the Government Center all of the
cable access equipment was upgraded converting from an analogue system to a digital system. After using
the equipment for two years, we had an independent company, Touchpoint Logic, come and audit the
system to see what we could do better. Tierney built the system and while they have fixed and installed
what was ordered, it could use some help. Touchpoint Logic is used by the Cities of St. Cloud and Sauk
Rapids and they are very reasonably priced. In looking at our system we are proposing to make the
following changes:
1. Currently the control desk has no control if a members turns their mic off. This is becoming
more of a problem. The only way to fix the problem is to come out and ask to turn the mic
on. The proposal would add new mute buttons which will have better controls and access in
the control room. It would also include adding some speakers to the Council dais so when at
the dais you can hear better.
2. While the facility was designed to allow the lobby and multi-purpose room to function as an
overflow, it was not designed to add sound or have controls in the multi-purpose room. The
proposal would be to allow speakers in the lobby and would add controls in the multi-purpose
room.
3. The final piece is tune, balance and update the system. They will also add a shock absorber
to the overhead projector so that it does not vibrate due to the HVAC system.
See the Statement of Work for additional details. The quote includes a fee if we did not have all the
programming files. The files that the City has have been forwarded and they have affirmed that they have
what they will need.
The project would be funded through the Cable Access funds. These are restricted funds that can only be
used for cable access purposes. The current fund balance is $ 5,926. The city receives approximately $
7,328 per year. Based on the project revenue we could advance fund the improvement with the project
funded by the end of 2020.

STATEMENT OF WORK
St. Joseph - Council Chamber Upgrades
The project will consist of four parts.The first part is to modify the mic muting structure in the
chamber as well as to add near field speakers to the dais to allow the members to properly hear the
room audio. The second part is to add speakers in the lobby to allow for the chamber audio to be
routed to the lobby.The third part is to add a Crestron controller to the Community room and link
it to the chamber system to improve function and allow for it to be used as an overflow room for
the chamber. The fourth part of the upgrade is to preform tuning and service to the existing
programming.
1. New mute buttons will be added to the dais to allow for the microphones to be properly muted
or unmuted from either the dais or the control room.The additional speakers will be tuned to
allow the members to hear the audio from the system clearly without causing feedback.
2. Speakers will be installed in the celling of the lobby to allow audio from the chamber to be
routed to the lobby when needed.
3. A Crestron controller will be added to the Community room system as well as hardware
allowing the audio and video from the chamber to be displayed in the room.This will greatly
improve the functionality of the room in standalone mode as well as adding the ability to use it
as an overflow room for the chamber.A partition sensor will also be installed to disable the
rear speakers automatically when the partition is closed.
4. Tuning of the system will be performed to fully utilize the existing hardware as well as the new
hardware.This will greatly improve the quality of the room and recording audio.The system
will also be updated and patched to significantly reduce the need for the system to be hard
rebooted and prevent system failures.
TouchPoint Logic will make site visits to install the new hardware as well as remove any old
hardware and if requested provide electronics recycling. The system will be configured and
programmed by TouchPoint Logic.As indicated on the quote, additional programming will be
required if the original code cannot be provided, as TouchPoint Logic will have to reprogram the
existing system.TouchPoint Logic will partner with the building IT personnel regarding the IP
addresses given to the new hardware if it is to be installed on the building network.
Please call or email with any questions you may have.
Thank you.
