That is my first time sitting through an entire city council meeting. Yowch.
- tonight’s meeting was 6 hours long. I spent maybe 2 hours working on the agenda ahead of time, and I didn’t even get through it.
- I still need to condense it into a post.
- What kind of detail is helpful? Do people want a dialogue blow by blow? Should there be expandable links with all that detail?
- I didn’t watch the afternoon session yet. So this is total, maybe a 10 hour commitment? That’s a lot.
- Will I get more efficient at it? Look and know which items need to be watched?
- Do I need to worry about staying anonymous? I should probably keep it polite-ish. Even if my rude version is funnier.
New plan:
- Watch from 6-10 pm. The next 2-4 hours can be gotten during commutes.
- It’s not ideal – it would be better to single out the hot-button issues to watch live, and save the less important ones for the commute. But I don’t think I’m willing to carve out more time than that. That can at least be my summer plan.
