Board votes to end routine broadcasting of PSPRS meetings
Summary
The Surprise Public Safety Personnel Retirement System joint board voted to stop routinely broadcasting its meetings after staff said the practice began during the COVID pandemic; the board did not record a roll-call tally and the Chair declared the motion passed.
The Surprise Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) joint board voted to stop routinely broadcasting its meetings after a board member moved to end the practice and the Chair seconded.
Michelle, a staff member, told the board that broadcasts began "at the request of the former mayor due to COVID" and that the communications department had asked whether broadcasts should continue. Michelle said she did not have an immediate figure for the cost of continuing broadcasts but offered to follow up with the communications department to obtain expense details.
A Committee member moved "that at this time we do not feel there's a need to broadcast the PSPRS board meetings anymore." The Chair seconded the motion. The Chair called for a voice vote; no members voiced opposition and the Chair declared the motion passed.
The board did not place a formal cost estimate on the record during the discussion. Staff indicated the communications department manages the recordings and would be asked for cost and storage details if the board requests them at a later date.
