Resident urges Union council to resume posting recorded meetings; clerk says options under review
Summary
A resident asked the City of Union council on May 11 to reconsider recording meetings and posting them online for transparency; Clerk Denise Winemiller said the city is reviewing recording options and awaiting information from IT staff.
At the May 11 City of Union council meeting, a resident urged the council to resume recording meetings and posting the recordings online, arguing the practice would support transparency and could be cost-effective.
Ms. Daugherty raised the request during the Citizens and Visitor Comments portion of the meeting. Clerk Denise Winemiller responded that the City is reviewing recording options and is awaiting additional information from the IT staff before making a change.
Related procedural questions about the official record of council meetings were later raised by Councilmember Mrs. Black, who cited the Sunshine Law and asked staff to research what constitutes the official record; that secondary motion failed for lack of a second and the Law Director indicated the issue could be placed on a future agenda for further consideration.
The minutes do not record a timeline or deadline for a decision on recording meetings; Winemiller said only that staff is reviewing options and would follow up with relevant departments.
