Goleta City Council meetings can now be viewed live and recorded on the city’s YouTube channel.

Also, when watching a previously recorded meeting, there is an option to add auto-generated closed captions or Spanish-language captions in video playback.

“We are so pleased to provide a way for people to easily watch our meetings from their home or on the go,” said said City Clerk Deborah Lopez. “With so many people already familiar with YouTube, this was an easy way to complement our existing platforms.

“We hope more people will watch our City Council meetings and feel more engaged with the city.”

Other ways to watch Goleta City Council meetings include in person in City Council Chambers, via Zoom, Goleta TV Channel 19, and the city’s website.

City Council Meetings are typically held at 5:30 p.m. the first and third Tuesdays of the month.
