Motion for Live Recording of Council Meetings

To propose that the council consider implementing live recording of council meetings.

It is important for us to align with other local governments and institutions across the North in adopting this technology. Live recording offers an excellent opportunity to engage with the community, particularly younger residents, and allows us to highlight the positive actions and progress we are making each month.

Given the recent damage caused by storm Eowyn, which has affected our current technology, it is clear that we need to invest in updated equipment. This would ensure that we are prepared to live-stream and record our meetings moving forward.

Therefore, I propose that this council formally explore the feasibility and logistics of introducing live recording for future council meetings.
