More Watch OV Meetings via Online Video
August 20, 2008
The
number of people who watch Oro Valley Town Council and other public
meetings via video streaming is growing, according to a release.
Since
the January 2008 implementation of Granicus video streaming technology,
approximately 700 live viewings of any given meeting have been
registered.
Prior to January, meetings were available online live, or could be accessed from archives, but only in audio format.
At that time, an average of 300 people logged on to listen to the live audio stream of any given meeting.
“It’s
part of a new town communications plan that aims to provide the public
with greater access to the government process,” said Oro Valley
communications administrator Mary Davis. “Not everyone is going to be
able to make it to the council meetings, so this is an effort to bring
that information to them. It’s great to see that people are responding
so well.”
Video options are only available for regular town
council meetings at this time, and only meetings held in council
chambers can be seen or heard. Archives of all meetings are available
online as well.
