Low Audio Alert

The audio encoding of the Town Council meeting is very low. You’ll have to crank up your speakers to hear the soundtrack. A lot.

Make sure you dial back your volume after watching these clips or you will be blasted out of your chair by the next sound coming from your computer.

Part 1

Part 1 starts with Mayor Weinbrecht’s introduction of the Cary TTF, an overview by Council Member Lori Bush and the Powerpoint presentation by TTF Member Hal Goodtree.

Cary TTF Chair Ian Henshaw summarizes the single over-arching recommendation of the Task Force at the end of the clip.

Town Council then votes, directing staff to come up with a matrix of time. cost and legal issues regarding the recommendations of the Cary TTF.

Honoring State Senator Richard Stevens

We should mention that between the two parts of the TTF Report to Council, Mayor Weinbrecht reads a proclamation honoring Cary resident and North Carolina State Senator Richard Stevens for his service in public office. Senator Stevens thanks the Mayor and Council and makes a few remarks at the end.

    The ridiculously low audio level seems to be a characteristic of all the Town’s youTube videos. We have a fine sound system in Town Hall. Does anyone know why the audio is so poor on the Town’s youTube videos? Maybe the Tech Task Force ought to make a recommendation about this…

      Do we really need a task force to explain how to properly encode video? It’s a mystery to me why the quality control is not better on this important program.

        I’ll volunteer to chair the task force.

        My recommendation is to find the gain control on the recording equipment. If it’s a knob, turn it clockwise; if it’s a slider, push it in an upward direction.
