Residents press Jefferson County to livestream meetings and upgrade recording equipment
Summary
Speakers urged the commission to make all meetings available on YouTube (live or recorded) and to upgrade cameras and microphones, citing transparency problems with work sessions not being recorded.
Several residents asked the county to livestream and archive commission meetings to improve transparency and reduce misinformation on social media.
Victoria Schubert (speaker 23) asked the commission to require that all county meetings — including work sessions—be available on YouTube either live or posted unedited. "We have a lot of folks in our county that work and cannot make these meetings. They want to be able to watch and be part of this process," she said. Schubert noted recent meetings had discussions about veterans' services that were not recorded and recommended better cameras and microphones for county recordings. Commissioners acknowledged the request and suggested staff follow up on technology options and costs for broader public access.
