From Fürstenfeldbruck into the big wide world: The city will soon offer a live stream of its meetings.
The transmission can also be viewed with a time delay, because it is archived for two weeks.
The city council launched the project with a large majority.
Fürstenfeldbruck - A large majority in the main committee of the city council had already emerged in early February for the introduction of a live stream.
There was only a need for clarification on the subject of data protection.
The administration will now contact providers.
One thing is clear: the city councils and the administrative staff have to sign a declaration that they agree to the sound and video recordings.
If you don't want to, you won't be recorded.
The costs for the live stream have not yet been determined.
The administration expects around 20,000 euros a year.
Alexa Zierl (ÖDP) recalled the "mother of the live stream": Claudia Calabro (SPD) made the first attempt in 2015.
Zierl's and Florian Weber's application had been rejected three years ago, but since Corona at the latest, there had been a change of opinion - there were three applications.
"Let's make the offer, participation strengthens the transparency of politics and contact with citizens," said Johanna Mellentin (Greens).
"Perhaps that will also give a breath of fresh air to local politics." The city council approved the livestream with a 32: 5 vote.
Less clear (22:14) was the agreement to the question of whether there should be a 14-day period in addition to the live broadcast during which the recording will be available on the Internet.
There are data protection concerns in his group, reported Andreas Lohde (CSU).
"It's something else to be there in the live stream or to consume it afterwards."
Zierl referred to parents or hosts who did not have the opportunity to attend the meeting.
"A further step towards accessibility is delayed," added Andreas Rothenberger (BBV).
And Philipp Heimerl (SPD) referred to streaming services such as Netflix.
One should not ignore the continuous availability of the meetings.
Now it is the turn of the city administration.
Maybe it will work with a test in the last meeting before the summer break, Mayor Erich Raff had announced in the committee.
