Village plans to broadcast board meetings
Coming soon to your living room: Hales Corners Village Board meetings.
Well, not literally. But the Village Board Monday night put the wheels in motion to begin broadcasting its semi-monthly meetings on local cable access Channel 14.
Officials said now it would be a great time to do it because the board's meeting room is under renovation as part of the project to overhaul Village Hall.
The board is temporarily holding meetings in the Ben Hunt Room of Hales Corners Library, located next door.
Because the meeting room is under renovation anyway, it would make it much easier to install the proper wiring and sound equipment, officials said.
Trustees are now awaiting formal bids to come in, but the expected cost of installing two cameras is around $5,000.
"I think it's a win-win for the community," Trustee Dan Besson said, adding that spending the money would be a good investment and could get more residents involved in their local government.
