Installing a New Projector in Conference Room 204

Having no projector in Conference Room 204 of Monroe Town Hall has made PowerPoint presentations difficult during meetings, and land use boards sometimes have problems showing plans on a screen during hearings held in the Council Chambers.

Funding was approved in the current budget for wall mounted projectors in both rooms. On Friday, a member of the town's custodial staff installed one in the conference room.

"In this day and age, we need the technology to show PowerPoints," said Jack Zamary, director of technology/operations.

Zamary said it costs about $1,000 for each system, which includes the projector, the wall mount and the screen.

Something else that's being discussed as a future consideration is an improved sound system for the microphones Town Council members use in the Chambers, according to Zamary.
