Council tables pilot to post meeting videos, citing higher priorities
Summary
Council members heard a proposed AV policy to post full meeting videos the next day and generate a table of contents, but after debate about staff time and other pressing priorities they voted to postpone the pilot until after the new year.
City staff presented a pilot public‑meeting AV policy that would post the full meeting video the next day and create a searchable table of contents. The presenter emphasized the pilot would run for 18 months and the intent was to increase public access: "It's to post the video the next day after the meetings… from the opening of the meeting to the end of the meeting," the presenter said.
Several council members argued staff time should prioritize audit and banking issues rather than extensive video editing, and one member moved to postpone adoption of the AV pilot until after the start of the year. The council seconded the motion and voted to postpone; the chair directed staff to revisit the proposal after the audit and other fiscal priorities are addressed.
