The hook most game shows have is keeping secret all the goodies behind the numbered door or the secret square. Audiences were glued to their TV's waiting and hoping to see the secrets unveiled. City council may have seemed like that in previous meetings especially for those who viewed council meetings on delayed broadcast.
To aide council members in the flow of the meeting agenda, backup information (sometimes measured in inches) is attached in the order that items will be discussed. It is a very helpful means to assist understanding the issues at hand. Home viewers and some in attendance didn't have access to the backup information nor the agenda.
In the spirit of transparency, recorder Rich Clemens, is now posting the city agenda and backup information on the city website and in most cases the information will be online before council meetings. Check out it out at http://www.buckhannonwv.org/Announcements.html.
Coming soon, will hopefully be a city website function that will allow playback of the council meetings on your computer. This way you will be able to view the proceedings at your leisure. Thanks to Rich Clemens for adding these informative features. No longer will you have to wait to see what's behind door number 3!
