proceedings tape recorded by its Clerk, and provides for regulation thereof. The
Board may change the details of this Resolution to allow for unusual circumstanc-
es, such as breakdown of the equipment.
2. Recording. As far as practicable, the Clerk shall seek to tape- record
the public oral proceedings by or before the Board in its Chambers. The method

fidelity of sound record, coverage of various parts of the Chambers, convenience
of operating the recording devices and of listening to the recordings, economy
and reliability of the whole process. Subject to this Resolution and other Board
direction, the Clerk has custody of the equipment and recordings.
3. Purpose & Nature of Recordings. The purpose of these recordings is to
help county staff and interested members of the public review discussion during
Board meetings. They are not, and do not purport to be, an official or complete
record of such matters; persons desiring such a record can provide for their own
mechanical, electronic, or stenographic recording, at their own expense and
without disturbing the Board's proceedings. They are merely rough preliminary
notes concerning the proceedings, for such help as they may be to county staff in
preparing final official records.

old.

and may estimate times required for use, make appointments for use, and otherwise
control and monitor use, which may include mandatory advance reservations for
users by priority and operation or supervisory by the Clerk's staff. The Clerk

transcript for anyone. None of the Clerk's other equipment or personnel shall be
