Council president Marilyn Marler said hello to her pops – all the way in Arizona – at the end of Monday’s regular meeting of the Missoula City Council.

"Hi Dad, on the new Internet streaming video," said Marler, who chaired the meeting in the mayor’s absence.

Last week, the city of Missoula announced its new $83,155 web technology project was going live at this week’s meeting. Among other features, the SIRE Technologies system streams live video of council meetings online.

Before the council kicked off its agenda, City Clerk Marty Rehbein offered a demonstration of the new setup. Viewers can go to the "Media Central" box on the city’s main website at http://www.ci.missoula.mt.us.
