Town of Whitby, Whitby, ON
- The Council Chambers have two possible meeting arrangements. The first arrangement is set up for Town Council meetings. This formal meeting is set up in a circular shape with the conference tables on tiered levels. The second meeting arrangement is set up for public meetings (including noise exemption requests, city planning, etc.). During the public meetings, Council Chambers are arranged so that all committee members and participants are on one level, with the committee facing the audience. TOA’s TS-900 Series cordless Conference System allows for this portability and is ideal for any conference room that is apt to change the layout of the room, or the number of participants. “The Council Chambers enjoys using this conference system. It is easy for us to operate and re-locate the units as we require.” Commented Martha Pettit, Deputy Clerk, Town of Whitby. Moving the Chairperson and Delegate units is as simple as picking the chairman or delegate unit up and carrying it to the new location – power and cords are not required.
TOA’s TS-900 Series has the capability of being monitored by Creston control panels, which the Town of Whitby has been using. Crestron’s control panel allows the chairperson to be able to fully control all conferencing functions, including microphone functions such as mute on/off. The Town of Whitby can also expand the system to include voting (which is currently not being used). The conference system integrates nicely with the other products selected to work within the council chambers.
