Meetings in a Minute

Great idea, well executed, from Hermosa Beach deputy mayor Michael DiVirgilio:

‘Meetings in a Minute’ is a video series where I’ll be posting a brief video overview after each Hermosa Beach City Council meeting.

Through the videos I hope to help communicate important City business as well as to make it easier for busy residents to stay informed and engaged in their local government process.

Michael gives further background here and makes the point that Meetings In A Minute is “not the goal, but more likely one of many steps devoted towards a dedicated and continuous effort to include people in the process.”

Check also his blog and YouTube channel.

Council business papers do a poor job communicating what Council is doing and why. There is too much text. This format, like Twitter, rewards the succinct.

Thanks to @bashley for the link.
