County board live feed is popular

The Carlton County Board has livestreamed its last three meetings and people are tuning in online in larger numbers than normally attend the regular county board meetings. According to the latest online county newsletter, the livestream feature has been viewed by an average of 200 people.

The public is encouraged to listen to the meetings live or at a later time using the playback feature on the county website. Each meeting will be uploaded to the county Civic Plus Website within a day or two of the actual meeting. The meetings are held twice each month and are normally scheduled at 8:30 a.m. on the second Tuesday of the month and 4 p.m. on the fourth Monday of the month.

If all goes well, the plan is to continue to livestream the meetings even after the COVID-19 pandemic abates. The next board meeting is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
