City Council and Planning and Zoning meetings are now being streamed live online via the city's modernized website (click, and again on next page).
According to Information Technology specialist Jeff Montgomery, the meetings will eventually be live on the local AT+T U-verse cable service as well -- and taped and broadcast later on Mediacom cable.
Video recordings will also be available from the city's website, for six months -- or longer should the city council decide to extend the duration.
Montgomery himself is operating the equipment from an adjacent room, but employees from the electrical department may be trained to do so as well.
Council President Burrell called it "monumental" that the meetings are now available live to the people of Fairhope and "all over the ... world."
The equipment cost less than $15,000.
The County Commission is the only other government entity in Baldwin County that televises its meetings.
