The Civic Center Television website has gotten yet another face lift!  Alongside this visual enhancement, we announce an overdue update that is soon to be at your disposal, an update that will make your online meeting-viewing all the more accessible and interactive.

The update I am referring to is, of course, meeting navigation.  Very soon, though we have yet to formally announce a date, you will be able to seek out particular agenda items within each individual meeting.  In place of manually seeking through each meeting you will be able to click on a link that will take you to the desired point of the video.  We want to make your on demand video experience as streamlined and accessible as possible.  There are also a few other significant enhancements to our archival video player that we plan on implementing this summer, though they are too early in development to mention.

Exciting news today:

Civic Center TV has teamed up with the Birmingham Area Cable Board, Bloomfield Community Television, Orion Neighborhood Television, and the Southwest Oakland Cable Commission to bring you exclusive cable coverage of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Meetings.  Each meeting covered will be produced by one party of the team– this was already made evident by the coverage of the May 5th meeting, produced by the Southwest Oakland Cable Commission.  Civic Center Television will be producing the meeting coverage for the 7th of July.

In recent years, the West Bloomfield Police Department has hosted an annual, summertime golf outing event.  The event, which both brings about a sense of community and raises money to help others, has proven to be a hit time and again.

It is now that time of the year and this summer’s event, with a date of June 28th, is approaching quickly.

The Department’s Officer Dave St. Germaine and Lieutenant Curt Lawson appeared on a new episode of West Bloomfield 911 to briefly discuss the upcoming event.  For more information and entertainment, view the appended episode below:
