1532: Mt Barker Mayor on Streaming Meetings & Seniors Online Initiative

A push to make Mount Barker Council meetings more accessible has
been delayed.



At this month’s Council meeting, five councillors voted in favor
of live streaming audio and video of full meetings from April
onwards, while five voted against.



Mayor Ann Ferguson had the deciding vote for the matter, opting
to maintain the 'status quo' in the interests of privacy for some
in-confidence matters, with a view to revisiting the vote in
future.



Mayor Ferguson joins Jennie Lenman to explain her position and
talk about one-on-one 'Be Connected' sessions at Mount Barker
Library, making it easier for seniors to become connected, active
and safe in the online world.

Library Operations Coordinator on 08 8393 6400.
