CityTV saved the day – at least when it comes to the ease of public access.
Technical difficulties prevented the Fort Wayne City Council meeting from being streamed live on Facebook on Tuesday.
A statement on the City Council meetings Facebook page stated that the technical difficulties were out of the city s control.
A link was later shared to CityTV, a site where videos of City Council meetings are archived. But as some Facebook users pointed out, the comment section is the only way for people to voice their opinions, since meetings have not been open to the public.

The resolution, which passed 6-1, also recognizes the possibility of a mask mandate ordered by the governor or health officials. In that instance, EACS will require universal and correct wearing of masks in accordance with the most current Centers of Disease Control and Prevention guidelines as well as guidance from the Allen County and Indiana departments of health, said Superintendent Marilyn Hissong, who read the resolution in its entirety.
