Riviere's greatest hits: Marco Island's city manager presents list of ...

For the last year, the landscaping at the Jolley Bridge has featured rebar, rocks and bright orange cones. With the new Jolley Bridge span almost complete, the City Council heard from Councilman Bill Trotter , who is also chairman of the Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), what the area will look like once the improvements are completed.

Trotter showed the Council a PowerPoint presentation prepared for the MPO by the Florida Department of Transportation, and explained what the slides indicated.

“It will be nice, with access for fishing,” he said. “There will be a linear park effect, with the attractive railing we wanted.” The landscaping will be more extensive on the southern Marco Island end of the bridge, with the landscape featuring the same palette of plantings used throughout the island. Trotter, along with the late Mike Minnozzi, has been instrumental in moving the added span from wish list to completion.

Financial advisor John White of Fifth Third Bank made a presentation urging Council to consider refinancing their tax-exempt bonds. With interest rates near 10-year lows, he said, the city could save $700,000 to $1 million.

The Council also hosted the presentation of awards to winners of the Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit, and Run competition, and heard from Marco Island Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Sandi Riedemann on Marco’s inclusion in a competition sponsored by Rand-McNally to select the most beautiful city in America.

“This will be great if we win – when we win,” she corrected herself. “I would like for you to be on our welcoming committee” when the judges arrive, the timing of which is unknown, she told the Council. Selected from among 600 cities across the U.S., Marco is competing as a finalist against cities including Coral Gables, Franklin, Tenn., and Pacifica, Calif.

Under the Staff Communications category, the council heard an “Operational & Financial Report for FY 2011 – 8 Months,” which could be titled “ Jim Riviere ’s Greatest Hits.”

Riviere, the Marco Island City Manager, presented a snapshot of successes and goals met in city government, with each department running below budget, and the city as a whole $1.06 million below budget. Total expenditures were down 8 percent under the year to date budget.

Many commercial CDs undergo dynamic range compression in order to sound "louder" when played on radio or low-end systems. Some consider this detrimental to the sound quality when reproduced on high-quality equipment. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab releases are highly desirable due to their attention to detail concerning the audio mastering process. Some of the techniques used are half-speed mastering and pressing gold-plated CDs. MFSL also releases record albums meant to be played at 45 RPM instead of the standard 33? RPM, for better sound quality. These albums must be released on two or three discs, as less music can be held at increased speed. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's ongoing quest is to deliver the foremost sounding audio entertainment software that technological innovation can provide. From our first UHQR™ vinyl LP to our latest Ultradisc UHR™ SACD, we have been and will remain a steadfast innovator in the audiophile frontier. We further believe that technological development serves best when accompanied by a profound awareness and appreciation for the elusive magic and mystery that comprises music itself. Our greatest hope is that our products will serve as conduits for ears ands souls to experience premium, pure, natural sound reproduction of diverse, pre-eminent original master recordings across the entire musical spectrum.

High Definition Compatible Digital, or HDCD (also known as High Definition Compact Disc) is a patented encode-decode process that endeavors to improve the sound quality of standard audio CDs. A HDCD-encoded CD usually, but not always, has the HDCD logo printed somewhere on the back cover. A relatively high-quality sound-system is required in order to take advantage of the subtle improvement that HDCD is intended to accomplish. HDCD was an early attempt by audiophiles to improve the sound-quality of CDs, while retaining backward compatibility with existing players. Although new HDCD-encoded CDs are still occasionally added to various catalogs, the format has been largely superseded by newer and more sophisticated digital audio technologies such as Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD-Audio. HDCD enhanced CDs are identified by the HDCD logo on the front and/or back cover, and are backwards compatible with non-HDCD enhanced playback equipment (you simply hear the quality of regular audio CD). As of early 2001, there are over 5,000 CD titles available with HDCD enhancement. To take advantage of HDCD enhanced audio CDs, you need a HDCD compatible DVD player or CD player. These models are identified with the same HDCD logo on their faceplate. PMI's High Definition Compatible Digital® (HDCD®) technology is a patented process used in top-end recording studios to correct the distortions found in current digital recording technology, delivering the full richness and detail of the original performance to compact disc and DVD audio. HDCD has been used in the recording of more than 5,000 CD titles, which include more than 225 Billboard Top 200 recordings and that account for more than 300 million CDs sold. PMI also licenses the HDCD decoder and filter technology to most of the world's leading audio IC manufacturers. Major consumer electronics makers employing HDCD technology include A & R Cambridge (Arcam), Denon Nippon Columbia Co. Ltd., Harman Kardon Inc., Kenwood Corp., Linn Products Ltd., Madrigal Audio Laboratories Inc., Marantz Japan Inc., Rotel, Sansui Electric Co. Ltd. and Toshiba Corp. HDCD-mastered CDs offer improved sound in standard CD players, and audio quality is improved even more in CD players equipped with HDCD playback technology.
