Committee asks staff about transcripts and closed captions; survey to return in October
Summary
Members asked if meeting transcripts and accommodations are available; staff said recorded meetings on YouTube include closed captioning but acknowledged improvements are possible. The committee also learned that survey results will be presented to council, then to the committee in October.
A committee member asked whether transcripts and accommodations for hearing‑impaired attendees are available. Tim, city staff, said current practice is to record meetings and publish replays with closed captioning on the city’s YouTube channel, and acknowledged there is room to improve real‑time accommodations or transcript availability.
“We'll have to see how we can facilitate them,” Tim said, and staff agreed to explore options for better accommodations. In related business, Tim said the city manager will present the community survey to city council and the committee should expect the same presentation and discussion at the October meeting so the group can dissect the survey findings and make recommendations.
