I'm told by the Ed Center that a deal to get Village Council and BOE meetings broadcast on Verizon FIOS in addition to Cablevision is being wrapped up, and this WILL be happening. I didn't get any kind of an ETA, but I'll check into it after a month or two (if I don't see the meetings on my FIOS).
This will give another alternative to the webcasts for BOE meetings, which are problematic for a few people. (And of course the Village Council doesn't webcast, so adding FIOS will be a great improvement in public access.)

Laurie,
Thank you very much!
This is really great. It will expand easy access to public forums in Ridgewood. Thank you for following up on this Laurie.
Laurie,
Any update on when/if FIOS will start carrying BOE and Village Council meetings?
Hello. I have not heard anything for awhile. I will see what I can find out as to the current status.
Just learned that Verizon FIOS workers will be in the Village next week checking out Village Hall and the Ed Center buildings regarding FIOS broadcasting. No one knows what this means in terms of timing for actual broadcasting, but I thought you'd like to know that things are happening.
Thanks for the update, please keep us posted, this is an important issue. Glad you are running for the BOE again!
