San Leandro to Soon Offer Video Broadcasts of City Council Meetings

San Leandro will soon join other Alameda County cities in providing video broadcasts of City Council meetings, according to The Daily Review

The City Council unanimously approved more than $395,000 in upgrades to the video equipment in the council chambers, which will allow community members to watch videos of the meetings from their home televisions or on their computers using an Internet connection, The Daily Review reports.

San Leandro is the last city in Alameda County to capture and share videos of its council meetings, city staff told The Daily Review.

Other boards and commissions holding meetings at the city council chambers, such as the San Leandro Unified school board, will have the option of using the equipment as long as they provide their own video operator, The Daily Review reports. 

The city is looking for those interested to work on a contract basis to operate the camera and equipment during the meetings and has even reached out to students at community colleges.
