After many - many - years of complaints by community members regarding the gross lack of transparency in city government, the City of Imperial Beach has finally established a YouTube account - and is uploading videos of council meetings and posting them on the city's website.
It appears however, that the videos are being uploaded to YouTube as PRIVATE - which prevents the videos from being found through a Google or other search engine and hides the videos from the city's YouTube account. Apparently, old habits die hard!
Here is the last meeting on 03/05/14.
And here's the 2/15/14 council meeting video.
Posting the council videos is a good first step to providing transparency, unfortunately there is still the glaring issue of timely postings of the meetings themselves to allow the public to weigh-in on the issues before the council takes action.
