Residents can now watch City Council meetings from their phones and tablets by clicking on a special link.
The link, which can be accessed at santamonica.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=23, provides live video streaming that is sized particularly for mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads.
"With the high level of interest in local community issues, putting City Council meetings on mobile devices was the logical next step," said Jory Wolf, city chief information officer in a statement.
CityTV at cable channel 16 will also show Planning Commission and Rent Control Board meetings live in addition to regular City Council meetings.
Residents can view CityTV online at www.citytv.org.
