Macon Media will be there to record the meeting for those who cannot be there. the public agenda and and the agenda that is shared with the media is posted below the live video player.

Macon Media has switched video providers from Livestream to Ustream because Ustream allows embedding of live video events on websites at the free service level. No login is required, but you will have to sit through and ad served up by Ustream. Once the ad finishes playing, click skip ad in the upper right corner of the video player.
