MOTION ON NOTICE

Submitted by Councillor Sullivan for Regular Council meeting of July 29, 2003

Televising of Council Meetings

MOVER: Councillor Sullivan
SECONDER: Councillor

WHEREAS the televising of City Council is very important for informing citizens about the workings of their civic government and engaging them in the democratic process.

AND WHEREAS Shaw Cable with the help of numerous volunteers currently provides an excellent service for the citizens by televising Council meetings which are shown every Tuesday afternoon and Saturday at noon.

AND WHEREAS there are several areas of the City that have smaller cable companies serving them, especially areas in the central business district and west end that do not currently have access to televised Council meetings.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT City staff enter into discussions with Shaw Cable and smaller cable providers in the City for the purpose of ensuring that residents in all areas of the City have access to City Council meetings.
