"Before the meetings I get to upload the staff reports to the specific agenda item so the public can go there Friday at 5:00, check our agenda and click on the staff report for the item; they don’t have to flip through our whole e-packet as they’ve had to in the past."
Krista Martinelli-Larson, City Clerk
South San Francisco, CA
"What I like about this technology is that citizens can sit at their computer, look up what happened yesterday or look up what happened today, watch the video of the discussion of a particular agenda item, and also look at the documentation that goes along with it...it's another way to involve citizens and citizen participation is extremely important."
Cynthia Hedge-Morrell, Council Member
New Orleans, LA
"If you click view video, you're going to get a page that has the agenda, here, and right here is a window showing the video of the meeting. If you scroll down through this agenda you'll see that all the agenda items are linked. If you click those links it will take you to that portion of that meeting."
