A major milestone in city government occurred last evening, when Monday's meeting of City Council was broadcast on Channel 19. There had been no noticeable public announcement.
The tape will be replayed Friday at 9:30 p.m., again on Channel 19.
Technical production quality was excellent, with good camera work, editing, and sound. Really well-done, in my opinion.
Bringing council meetings back to television has been in the planning and deciding stages since 11/7/05 when City Council Democrats pledged in a newspaper ad to return to televised Council meetings. It took two years and 14 days.
That it was unannounced is unfortunate, and presumably when it is announced so will be the story about who made it happen and how. It was not an easy accomplishment, as I understand it.
Council members are to be congratulated for this, a major step in sharing information with the public.
