RESOLUTION NO. 2008-049
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA DIRECTING STAFF TO PROCEED WITH
STEPS NECESSARY TO TELEVISE CITY COUNCIL
MEETINGS AND WHATEVER WORK SESSIONS,
COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS ARE
APPROPRIATE
WHEREAS, during the budgeting process for fiscal year 2007/2008, staff included a
modest amount (about $2,000) in the budget to cover the cost of the material and labor to provide
the ability to show the City Council meetings live on Channel 24 for Cox customers; and
WHEREAS, during the past few months, staff has recommended many budget cuts in
order to balance the budget but because of the very small dollar amount, staff did not eliminate
this item; and
WHEREAS, in the past, Council has stated a preference for having their meetings
accessible to more citizens, so several years ago, staff installed a system to stream Council
meetings live on the Internet and make past meeting available as well; and
WHEREAS, this resolution will expand on that process and allow citizens who do not
have access to a computer to view the meetings live; and
WHEREAS, the meetings would continue to be televised on Wednesday evenings at
7:00 p.m.; and
WHEREAS, this effort would also provide the ability to televise any meetings that are
currently being streamed on the Internet.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby direct staff to proceed with steps necessary to televise the City Council
meetings and whatever work sessions, commission and committee meetings are appropriate.
