STE. GENEVIEVE – Last night’s Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Board of Aldermen went live to a potential worldwide audience last night, when its regular meeting was streamed live on the internet.
It wasn’t the first time the board meetings were streamed live, as both SteGenTV channels 990 and 991 were streamed 24/7 several years ago, but streaming was discontinued for technical reasons.
This time the streaming will be activated for city hall meetings and other programs originating in the city hall board room according to Charles Litterest, station director. He said it is still very much a work in progress.
As for the regular business of the meeting the aldermen approved all measures on 5-0-3 votes. These included:
