If you enjoy watching Mt. Lebanon School Board meetings on public access TV, municipal commissioners have a special treat for you.
By May, Mt. Lebanon Commission meetings will also enjoy a prominent location on the public access cable lineup. Commissioners approved the taping and broadcasting as part of the 2009 budget. On the radar for years, a final push by Democrat councilman Dan Miller in late 2008 pushed the issue to the table. Some $30,000 in funding for taping equipment was approved in the budget.
The cameras and recording equipment were installed in February and March. Miller said that meetings in April will be taped on a test-basis and not broadcast. "I am told that we will start broadcasting in May. Initially we said April, but that got pushed back."
