City Council meetings now available live at www.pueblo.us.

Pueblo, CO – Pueblo residents now have the ability to watch Pueblo 17 and City Council meetings live and on-demand at the City’s website (www.pueblo.us). “Transparency is not just a buzz word to the City of Pueblo. It’s important that our citizens have full access to their City Government, and by offering it live and on-demand from our website, we can reach more people than ever before,” says Lori Pinz, Director of Information Technology.

Viewers can easily watch both live and archived webcasts as well as view Council meeting agendas and minutes. Archived Council meetings are indexed, allowing viewers to quickly jump to a particular item instead of viewing the meeting in its entirety.

The City has partnered with Granicus, Inc. to bring these services to our community. The Granicus system directly supports Pueblo’s goals to increase government transparency and strengthen citizen awareness and participation in the democratic process.
