Each recording shall remain on the website for a minimum of one year from the date of posting. These recordings shall be viewable free of charge. Each recording shall have date and time coding. While it is the Board’s intent to post recordings in their entirety, it may at its discretion direct the Executive Director to have appropriate staff edit a recording for some content. Examples of such content include but are not limited to safety, potential legal liability, or a recess to celebrate a new or departing Trustee. ARTICLE 3. COMMITMENT TO RECORD MEETINGS WNPLD will make every effort to record meetings and post those recordings to its website. However, equipment failure or other unforeseen circumstances that may prevent or interrupt recording will not result in the cancellation or postponement of a meeting. _________________________________________
