Council boosts public access to meetings

Apr 9, 2019 | 1:40 PM

More public access will be coming to civic meetings.

Council voted to start video taping public hearings and committee of the whole meetings at a tune of $6300 a year.

The idea was brought forward by Councillor Scott Anderson while Interior Health was giving a presentation on the Overdose Prevention Site at last council meeting on March 25.

The city already video records regular council meetings which are available for the public to view online .

Councillor Akbal Mund asked staff if there is a way to track how many people actually tune in and if the cost of the service is worth the numbers that it brings in.
