9.10. Discussion of live streaming meetings. Due to the COVID situation the City used GoToMeetings and a lot of the public liked to watch the meeting from the comfort of their home. It does not work well to have a blended meeting with council physically in attendance but also on the GoToMeeting. We could live stream our meetings, but not allow live comments. The public would need to email or text their comment to the City Administrator to be read during public comment. There would be a cost of approximately $600 for microphone headsets.

Motion to recommend to the City Council to begin live streaming all council type meetings beginning in September and to put on the consent agenda.
