Cameras to focus in on city council

Cameras will roll for the Auburn City Council work sessions starting later this month.

City manager Mark Palesh responded to requests by councilors

by bringing back the

television cameras

during the twice monthly meetings.

The regular business meetings continued to be recorded and aired on a public television station.

Barring contrary requests, Palesh will

move the work sessions back to chambers and

tape them. The first work session to again be televised likely will be Thursday, July 19.
