Resident alleges county noncompliance with livestreaming statute; attorney asked for website demonstration
Summary
A public commenter said Washington County was not complying with livestreaming requirements (the record alternately refers to HEA 1167 and HB1167); the county attorney asked a staff member to demonstrate the county website to show compliance.
During public comment, Rhonda Greene alleged the county was not complying with the livestreaming statute, recorded in the minutes alternately as HEA 1167 and HB1167. Greene said she believed all boards that receive county money should be livestreamed.
Attorney April Geltmaker asked Bill Bradford to demonstrate the county's website during the meeting so Greene could see how the county records or livestreams its meetings. The minutes record the request but do not include a follow-up demonstration transcript or a staff confirmation of statutory compliance.
The record contains inconsistent references to the statute (the minutes refer to both HEA 1167 and HB1167 in different places); the minutes do not show the county adopting new livestreaming procedures during these sessions.
