Williamson council approves purchase of equipment to record public meetings
Summary
After discussion about sharing meetings online, the Williamson council voted 3-0 to expend funds for equipment to record public meetings, noting a need for a social-media policy before wider online posting.
The Williamson City Council approved funds on April 2 to purchase equipment needed to record public meetings for posting on the city's website.
Councilmember Bob Harrison raised the need to record and share meetings; council discussed that posting recordings would require a social‑media policy. The council moved and approved a motion authorizing expenditure of necessary funds to purchase recording equipment (motion Bob Harrison, second Carol Berry; vote 3‑0).
The minutes record the motion and approval but do not specify an equipment vendor, dollar amount or timeline for posting recordings. Council instructed staff to follow applicable policies once a social‑media policy is in place.
