Fulton County looking for tech for tracking vehicles and streaming government meetings

Fulton County government is working to bring technology in to keep track of county vehicles and to deliver governtment meetings to the public.

 

Fulton County Commissioner Rick Ranstead says Sheriff Travis Heishman is seeking funding for a service that would track vehicles.

 

 

Ranstead also noted that in conjunction with a bill in the state legislature the county is preparing for live streaming county meetings so the public can view them from anywhere.

By 2025, there could be a requirement for all government meetings in Indiana to be live streamed or recorded. Lawmakers hope legislation like this will help increase transparency among local governments.

House Bill 1167 would require bodies of government to live stream their meetings so constituents can watch from anywhere. It would also require the video be archived for 90 days.
