Staff to begin uploading edited meeting videos to YouTube as interim step toward live streaming
Summary
Commission agreed staff should post edited meeting video to a newly created YouTube channel immediately as an interim transparency measure while working toward full live streaming capability at a future City Hall.
Commissioners discussed streaming city meetings and agreed to an incremental approach: create a YouTube channel and post edited meeting videos immediately while the city continues working toward full live-stream capability at the new City Hall. Communications staff said, "I did, create a a YouTube channel today...right after the meeting, just edit the video real quick...and then I could throw those up on our website right away, and it would take them to a YouTube playlist," as an interim solution.
Commissioners generally supported starting with posted videos to increase access and then moving to live streaming when technical readiness at the future City Hall allows. Staff will post edited video files after each meeting and share the playlist on the city's Facebook page while continuing to evaluate live-streaming systems.
