Title

Motion amending the order of priority for broadcasting meetings of government bodies on the City Channel.

 

Analysis

This motion amends the order of priority for the televising of meetings of government bodies by the City Channel by adding the Joint Committee on Redevelopment of Abandoned and Foreclosed Homes.

 

Body

Whereas, In an increasingly digital age, televising government meetings is an important means of informing citizens about their government; and

 

Whereas, Since the creation of the City Channel, this channel has been dedicated to making City of Milwaukee government as transparent as possible to the community; and

 

Whereas, In the interest of good management and government, the order of priority for televising meetings of government bodies should be continually re-evaluated; and

 

Whereas,  There has been broad public interest in the activities of the Joint Committee on Redevelopment of Abandoned and Foreclosed Homes, now, therefore,

 

It Is Moved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the attached order of priority for the televising of meetings of government bodies by the City Channel is approved.
