AGENDA TITLE: Advertisement for Bids for Notebook Computer and
LCD Projector
MEETING DATE: March 19, 1997
SUBMITTED BY: Finance Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the advertisement for bids for
one notebook computer and one LCD multimedia projector
for use by the Finance Department (and other city
departments), in budget presentations or other occasions
where computer-based image or file projection is required.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently, computer-based files, graphs, tables, and images
used for presentations are printed to transparencies and
displayed and handled manually using an overhead projector.
Technology now allows those files, graphs and images to be projected directly to a presentation screen
from a notebook computer via an LCD projector. It is staffs recommendation that the Finance
Department solicit bids for a Dell, Micron, or comparable notebook computer and LCD Multimedia
projector, and to use that technology for budget presentations and financial reviews. The equipment
would also be available to other departments for presentations to the City Council and Commissions,
and could also be used for presentations for community promotion.
FUNDING: Estimated Cost: $15,000 - Finance Dept Carryover Funds
BID OPENING: April 2, 1997
