Live and Archived Recordings of Regular Meetings Now Available Through the County’s Website
Orange County, NC - Orange County Government has improved public access options for viewing Board of County Commissioners’ meetings. Starting immediately, anyone with a computer and network access can view BOCC regular meetings through streaming video supported by Granicus.
Sunshine Week in North Carolina, starting March 15, introduces the availability of links on the Orange County website for both live and recordings of previous BOCC regular meetings for 2010. Archived videos are indexed to specific agenda items to simplify the search process.
Viewing options of Orange County Board of Commissioners regular meetings are available to the public in several formats. Currently the most recent BOCC meeting can be seen on Time Warner Cable digital channel 265 at noon and 7:00 p.m. each day. Archived streaming videos through Granicus are now available by selecting “Video” on the Orange County website http://www.co.orange.nc.us/.
Archived meetings will generally be available the day after the meeting.
“Implementation of the Granicus service takes Orange County to the next level in open government,” said Valerie Foushee, Chair of the Orange County Board of Commissioners. “Streaming video will improve access for individuals who wish to see, hear and evaluate Board discussions and deliberations,” she added.
BOCC regular meetings are usually held twice a month. A yearly calendar is available from the main Orange County webpage.
