WCPN Cleveland City Council meetings, like most government meetings, shifted to virtual last year during the coronavirus pandemic. As pandemic-related health orders are lifting at the state and local level, Cleveland City Council passed an ordinance Monday that would allow virtual and livestreamed meetings to continue even after a return to in-person proceedings. The shift to virtual meetings has brought more engagement and interaction with the public, President Kevin Kelley, and he wants to see that continue. Council members would like to meet in person again by July, but Kelley said the council chambers firt need to be equipped to offer livestreams.
