The Sierra Vista City Council Work Session for April 7th and Council Meeting for April 9th took place over WebEx, a video teleconferencing platform (VTC), this past week. And unsurprisingly, it was (for the most part) clearer and louder than when we stream our meetings through the outdated cameras and microphones in the chamber at City Hall. There was however a few hiccups, especially with our first meeting. Only the Mayor and Council Member Benning's cameras were connecting and everyone else was audio-only. The City Manager's microphone was also cutting out occasionally, but both issues have since been resolved. Members of the public were able to call in and listen to the meeting live, as well as participate during the call to the public, although no one did this past meeting. Of course, we all still much prefer to meet in person, it's currently not in the best interest of public health to do so at this time, which is why I am so grateful that staff was able to set up an accommodating solution for all of us.
Below are the links for the recorded meetings, agendas, and supporting documents. I chose to only do a break down of the Work Session since the agenda for our Council Meeting was light with the Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan being tabled until our next meeting. However, the one timestamp I did include from our most recent meeting was for Council Member Wolfe's closing comments since I really appreciate what she said and wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to hear her words.
Also, I would like to share a quick timeline for upcoming budget meetings:
April 21st Work Session - Discussion of Revenue, Personnel, and O & M
May 21st Work Session - Balanced Budget Presentation. Council should be receiving tentative budget books around May 22nd.
