Members of the public attending Orion Township meetings can now videotape or make an audio recording of the meeting on their own.
The Orion Township Board of Trustees adopted a policy at their March 17 meeting, which allows members of the public to tape meetings, to prevent disruption of a meeting or interference with the cable commission’s and the township’s recording equipment.
The policy states that a member of the public may tape a meeting without prior approval of the township, as long as set-up and location of equipment be in accordance with the regulations of the township and to minimize the possibility of disrupting the meeting, or interfering with township equipment.
