Mayor Announces Livestreaming of City Council Meetings to Increase Public Access
As part of the city's ongoing commitment to transparency and public engagement, Mayor Hatcher has announced that City Council meetings will now be livestreamed and made available for public viewing.
The new initiative is designed to make local government more accessible to residents who may be unable to attend meetings in person due to work, family, or other commitments. By providing direct access to council discussions and decisions, the city hopes to encourage greater awareness of municipal issues and ensure that residents have the opportunity to stay informed through firsthand information. Providing residents with unfiltered access to City Council meetings ensures they can hear discussions in their full context and draw their own conclusions about the issues affecting the community.
"Residents deserve every opportunity to stay informed about the work being done on behalf of our community," said Mayor Hatcher. "Making council meetings available for viewing is one more way we can strengthen communication, promote transparency, and allow citizens to see the discussion and decision-making process for themselves."
During his 14 years in office, Mayor Hatcher has supported efforts aimed at improving city services, community engagement, and transparency. The addition of livestreaming council meetings reflects the administration's continued commitment to open government and ensuring that residents have access to accurate, firsthand information about city business.
Information regarding viewing schedules and access details will be announced in the coming weeks.
