Installing a New Projector in Conference Room 204

Monroe Town Hall's conference room has never had a wall-mounted projector for PowerPoint presentations.

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.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
