• <br />WS — Item 6 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 6 <br />Date: 2 November 2009 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Daniel Tesch, Director of Administration/ Acting C.A. <br />Re: Televising Work Sessions <br />Background <br />The Charter Commission had requested the council amend the city charter to include <br />televising work sessions. That question was not put on the ballot. <br />Council Member O'Donnell requested this be placed on tonight's work session agenda. <br />Julie and I have put together what the options would look like if we: <br />A. Held council work sessions in the council chambers at the dias <br />B. Held council work session in the chamber on the main floor <br />C. Broadcast work sessions from the community room. <br />A secondary question was raised about broadcasting all meetings concerning city issues. <br />The only bodies that do not broadcast their meetings are EDAC and the Charter <br />Commission. <br />There is currently no ordinance or statute that requires the council broadcast/televise any <br />of its meetings, including regular council meetings. It has simply been our practice. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />How to proceed... <br />Attachment(s) <br />Memorandum outlining options and a diagram from North Metro Channel 15. <br />1 <br />
