City Council N inutes <br />June 3, 2019 <br />Page 14 <br />Ms. Clement said the redesigned Public Hearing Notice could direct people to the <br />website which would have a more official looking version. The redesign would <br />hopefully attract people's attention and get them to read the information and attend <br />the Public Hearing if it concerned them. <br />Attorney Beck added there were some items that needed to be included on a Public <br />Hearing Notice. <br />Councilmember Ovall felt it was worth trying the redesign to see if it improved <br />communication and engagement. <br />Mayor Dietz directed communication staff to continue working on citizen <br />engagement projects. <br />Mr. Portner said their ERA information launch date was ideally the Night to Unite <br />event on August 6, 2019. <br />Ms. Clement discussed the options for live streaming council meetings on Facebook. <br />She feels it may increase citizen engagement if they are able to comment and interact <br />with other viewers while watching. The process would need the purchase of an <br />additional provider and include a monthly maintenance fee. She could continue <br />looking for quotes for providers. <br />Councilmember Westgaard liked the idea that it could reach more people. <br />Councilmember Wagner asked if it could be set up using iPads on tripods. <br />Ms. Clement stated that Aurora, Illinois council does this but the audio is too faint. <br />Councilmember Wagner asked who would be monitoring the comments and doing <br />engagement. <br />Ms. Clement stated there could be a disclaimer that the discussions are not <br />monitored and staff would answer questions within a certain time period. <br />Communications would monitor the feed to eliminate violations to terms of use. <br />Councilmember Wagner said the comment stream would need to be monitored. <br />There was too much of a chance for it to get out of hand. She does like the idea of <br />real time engagement. The city could start with council meetings and then include <br />commission meetings as well. <br />Mayor Dietz doesn't have a problem being more open, however, we live in a <br />negative society and negative comments might get out of hand. He did like the idea <br />of having a volunteer greeter at council meetings to help people understand the <br />council meeting process and when their item may be discussed. <br />0 1 E l E 1 B 1 <br />NATURE <br />
