Video of April 23rd Council Meeting Available
At April 23rd's Council meeting the camera for Charter Cable went down. The city asked if I could make my video available to Charter which of course I was willing to do. However, after talking to Charter there were several reasons they could not use my video (the funniest of which was that they had no way to broadcast digital content on Channel 18).
So, the City opted to do the next best thing to help make sure the public can see the meeting. Our video of the meeting is now being hosted on the Overland Missouri homepage. Though I could have hosted the video myself via Google Video, I could not host it at a very good quality. The City was able to host a higher quality version. The City of Overland, especially Rich Kessler at MIS, went above and beyond to try to make this meeting available to the public. I am sure everyone appreciates it (so why not take a moment next week and let them know).
One small disclaimer: I didn't shoot this video knowing it would need to be hosted in it's entirety. As a result I you will see a few skips in it. Normally I only post interesting potions of the video, and in this particular case I made a few manual clips of each swearing in ceremony so I could send them to each of the new Council people (which I still have to do). Rest assured nothing should be missing from the meeting coverage.
So, go to the City Website as see how video looks before we compress and convert the heck out of it to get it on Google or YouTube. Enjoy!

Recently I noticed a few posts on various websites asking if I had taped the Council Workshop meeting on April 24th, 2007.
I didn't, but I will in the future. It is a real shame that I didn't get this meeting on video because it was an excellent example of Council people working together as well as thinking for themselves individually.
Good job in getting the video for Overland. Perhaps this will lead to bigger and better things and more exposuer for Overland Examiner.
Well, not so sure about exposure. Frankly if that is what I was looking for I would have hosted the video here. :-)
The City asked me to if I would provide my video to Charter, and since Charter could not use it this seemed like the next best thing. Personally, I appreciate seeing this effort being made, I've never seen the City try to work this out before (through several administrations) though in truth there hasn't been an obnoxious guy there video taping all the time like there is now. :-)
Thanks!!
Don't thank me, thank the hard working folks at City Hall. :-)
