October 6, 2011 Discussion Kevin Urban asked if there was anything they can do with regard to acoustics at the Municipal Court? Mayor Reiman said they we directed the Buildings & Grounds Department to evaluate that with the Court System and the court staff. As you know, that particular system is designed for recording not necessarily for amplification, although he does believe that they do have assisted listening devices. We do have them here as well. If you see the sign over there, if some point in time you can't hear, there is an assistant amplification device that you can put on and it ties right into our system. We have asked Debbie Uhouse and Tony Neibert to get together and hopefully it is a simple solution, it may just be adding speakers throughout the Courthouse.
