Residents press council on poor YouTube sound and emergency notification methods
Summary
Residents Trent and Emily French said the YouTube videos of council meetings are hard to hear; Mayor Crain said the city would need to invest in better equipment and noted boil orders and outages are posted on social media and the city website.
Trent and Emily French told the council that sound quality in the posted Council meeting videos is poor and difficult to hear. The couple asked what could be done to improve the audio for public viewing.
Mayor Crain said the city would need to invest in better-quality audiovisual equipment to improve recordings. Trent also asked how residents are notified about boil orders and power outages; the mayor said the city posts notices to social media and on the official city website, www.covingtonin.net.
The council did not commit to a procurement timeline or specific equipment upgrades during the meeting; the mayor framed the improvement as a budgetary investment the city would have to authorize.
