The Town of Oliver and Eastlink TV are back in business again televising council meetings.
Meetings will be aired again on Channel 10 at 7 pm. Today, a special open meeting at 4 pm will feature a discussion on Gallagher Lake siphon repair options.
The Town says providing access to council meetings has been a high priority for council and Eastlink TV.
“Once again, residents will be able to watch local government at work as council discusses and votes on items affecting the residents of Oliver,” the Town says.
The Town has also launched CivicWeb, a new meeting portal where residents can access Town meetings and other information. The new portal has been designed to provide a user-friendly interface to enhance the flow of information between government and the public.
Some of the many functions include:
• A comprehensive calendar of upcoming and past council meetings
• Easy access to agendas and minutes for a particular meeting
• A user-friendly search option for other council records, and
• The ability to subscribe for automatic notification (e-updates) of new council records (agendas and minutes) related to specific meeting types.
The portal also provides an advanced search engine to assist citizens to easily locate Town actions and decisions. Residents are encouraged to access the portal by going to the Town’s website, www.oliver.ca, and clicking on the CivicWeb “Meetings Portal” and “Meeting Updates”.
