Center Post-Dispatch: Saguache County commissioners approved a measure Thursday to purchase recording equipment and make audio recordings of their meetings, which then can be made available to those unable to attend during the week.

The need to record meetings has been discussed since the 2012 election cycle. Previous commissioners did not feel recording was a good idea.

County Clerk Carla Gomez campaigned for the recordings, but research into the matter took a backseat to election and financial problems in the county for a time and have only recently come once again to the forefront.

A system was priced with the county’s Internet service providers but was too costly ($9,000). Other systems have been discussed over the past few months but commissioners decided to consult with a recording professional before making a decision about any particular system.
At a previous meeting, Commissioner Jason Anderson offered to price systems and speak with those knowledgeable about recording equipment. He was directed to Pete Van Horn of Moffat.
