All Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, Economic Development Authority, and School Board meetings will be archived and accessible for on-demand viewing. Once archived, the on-demand feature allows for viewers to choose which meeting agenda items, or conversations, they wish to watch and then go directly to that video segment. A transcript is created by voice to text technology, allowing citizens to search the archives for the spoken word in a meeting which is synced to the video.
This webcasting feature is compatible with multiple platforms including Apple, Android, and other popular devices. You can now watch and experience the meetings in a streamlined manner while on the go.
