DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Future Agenda Items Mayor Henson reminded the Commission of previous discussions regarding possible live streaming of City Commission meetings and that they had requested the City Manager research the feasibility of that and report his findings to the City Commission. The report would include cost analysis, benefit to the citizens, options for providing the service, and challenges to ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) compliance. Commissioner Meadows added that he felt it was also important to address the issue of how to make the agenda and backup documentation for agenda items accessible to the public prior to the meeting and he wanted staff to also explore what options were available for doing that. He inquired of Mr. Newlon what the expected time frame was for getting back to the City Commission with information on both the live streaming and agenda accessibility issues. Mr. Newlon advised that the Commission had, in fact, expressed interest in both live streaming the meetings and providing a mode of access for the public to view agenda packets for the meetings. He stated that these were important matters but were not urgent and required research, and currently there were other priorities, including preparation of the budget for the July budget meetings. He anticipated that further discussion about live streaming could take place after the July budget meetings, and he proposed August or September for those discussions to determine what it would take to implement live streaming and what would be best for the community, and to received guidance from the Commission on how they wished to proceed. No other future agenda items were suggested. B. Municipal Advisory Committee (Metroplan) Repor Mayor Henson reported he had attended a Zoom meeting of the group on Thursday, May 6111, and the emphasis of the discussion had been on trails, complete streets, safety, and connections to SunRail.
