Commission discusses meeting locations, livestreaming and posting of minutes
Summary
Members weighed holding public meetings at the library, school or town hall, and discussed livestreaming via Zoom/YouTube; they asked staff to explore library availability and technical options and to post agendas and recordings on the county site or YouTube.
Commissioners discussed where to hold public meetings and how to make meetings as accessible as possible, including livestreaming and posting recordings.
Options discussed included the county courtroom (the current meeting room), the Phillipsburg library, the school boardroom and town hall. Members favored the library for accessibility and walk-in attendance but noted scheduling conflicts and the need to coordinate around existing events.
Members also discussed livestreaming and remote participation. The group agreed to start with a simple, testable setup — using a laptop or tablet connected to available Wi‑Fi to run Zoom and upload recordings to YouTube — and asked the chair to check with the library and the school about technical capacities. One member noted the county clerk’s office could post recordings to the Granite County YouTube channel; another preferred a dedicated channel for the commission.
On transparency, members instructed staff to ensure agendas are posted in a timely manner, that meeting recordings or audio be uploaded even if video is not available, and that the commission’s meeting notices be placed on county web pages and community calendars. No final change to venue or streaming vendor was adopted; staff was directed to report back with availability and cost information for the library and school prior to the next meeting.
