Board agrees to continue live-streaming meetings except when security concerns apply
Summary
After discussing county-attorney guidance that streaming is not mandated, the board reached consensus to continue live-streaming meetings for transparency, with exceptions for content involving facility security.
The board discussed whether to continue live-streaming its meetings after a county attorney advised that streaming is not mandated. Several members argued for continued streaming to support transparency, while recognizing there are cases when facility security or sensitive content could justify limiting public broadcast.
"The county attorney said we're not mandated to live stream, these," the chair noted, but added that the board would continue the practice in general and limit streams when discussions involve specific facility security matters. Staff clarified that the meeting was being recorded and would be distributed afterward because live-streaming capability was limited at the relocated meeting site. The board registered consensus to continue live-streaming when feasible.
