Oak Park MAC pushes to resume livestreams; staff resources cited as hurdle
Summary
The MAC requested that live streaming resume for all meetings to increase transparency and interactivity; Supervisor Gorell's staff said they are working to secure personnel resources needed to operate livestreaming.
The Oak Park MAC reiterated a request to resume livestreaming all MAC meetings so residents who cannot attend in person can view and participate. The tickler log states residents believe meetings are not inclusive or transparent without livestreaming and asked that streams be made interactive.
The packet update notes: "Supervisor Gorell's staff [is] working to secure people resources required during live streaming sessions." No immediate funding or staff assignment was announced at the Feb. 27 meeting, and the item remained pending with a target of early 2025 for resumption efforts.
Committee members and residents said restoring livestreams would improve access for those who cannot attend in person; county staff indicated technical and staffing needs must be met before a schedule can be resumed.
