Re: Video and Audio Streaming (Rob Oppenheim) (Jack R. Jones)
Dear Rob,
We would have to concur with Jack. We would have the same challenges with attending/viewing. However, town's written communication, with a TOC helps us tremendously. As I (Iris) said to you previously, I would be delighted to serve and to support the efforts of my town if we work to our mutual benefit. It is 1:48am, and I am just ending a day that started at 6:30am. That is just the nature of the work that Sky and I do.
Thank you.
Iris and Sky McLaurin-Sirewest
4704 Oliver Street

Dear Rob,
I assume that most people are busy like I am
doing volunteer work in several different
organizations so that it is not always an option
to come to a work or legislative session...some
times civic duty just takes me else where. So it
is that if I do not make the meeting, I am also
not likely to be able to watch a live broadcast
of the meeting. So a video of the meeting would
be a low priority for me
On the other hand, access to the minutes in my
own time frame would be most excellent. A table
of contents summary of topics discussed and/or
actions taken would also help in a time crunch so
I could mark those minutes to come back and read
later.
Thanks for your good thoughts and efforts,
Jack
