Roanoke City Council announced during its July 21 meetings that full council sessions will begin streaming on YouTube next month. The council also confirmed that its next meetings will be Monday, Aug. 4 at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The announcement was brief; the transcript does not state which technical vendor or city office will manage the streaming or the exact start date beyond "next month." The July 21 record also notes public-comment activity for that day's meetings: four residents spoke at the 2 p.m. session and six people spoke during the 7 p.m. session.

Residents who rely on remote access should check the city website or the Aug. 4 agenda packet for streaming links and any updates about meeting times or formats.
