Resident urges broader online posting and recordings of Fiscal Court meetings
Summary
During public comment Amy Charles asked the Court to post notices, agendas, notes and video recordings to Facebook and YouTube and to advertise openings for appointed positions; Judge Bates and magistrates expressed concerns about recording reliability and the value of current posting practices.
Amy Charles addressed the Court during public comments requesting that the Fiscal Court and its committees post meeting notices, agendas, meeting notes, and video recordings to Facebook and YouTube, and that openings for appointed positions be advertised with requirements. She asked that the matter be placed on a future agenda for discussion.
Judge/Executive Scott Bates said the county is already "doing more than has ever been done" but raised concerns that recording everything could create controversy if recordings failed; Esquire Carl Tingle said "Facebook just twists things around anyway," and Esquire Danny Shain said current posting practices should be sufficient. The minutes record no immediate action to change posting or recording policy.
