Meeting access video grows among city councils:
Metro Atlanta cities want to air their business in living
rooms. Alpharetta agreed to spend $68,000 for a video recording system
in its council chambers. Dunwoody will shell out $93,000 for a digital
video recording system, enabling residents to view city council and
planning commission meetings live from home.While not every city electronically records its council meetings, the
practice has become increasingly popular.
“It’s an overall trend of cities, going where people are to share
information, to keep people in touch,” said Amy Henderson, Georgia
Municipal Association spokeswoman.
