<br />Councilmember Heineman asked whether there are any procedural rules or laws that would <br />prevent Councilmembers from recording meetings. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated anyone can record a regular meeting, but closed sessions should <br />not be recorded individually. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated she would support having strategic planning minutes done in <br />verbatim style because she would like to have more detailed information, specifically for an <br />important issue like strategic planning. She added it is helpful for City Staff, the City Council, <br />and the entire community to be able to watch and listen, and determine what points and issues are <br />of importance. She noted some cities put their regular meeting videos on YouTube. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated he can check all these options and add this issue to a future work <br />session for discussion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated QCTV cable television could host it on their website, since they are <br />already doing City meetings. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated City Staff presents the detailed summary minutes for City Council <br />review and approval.
