How on earth can it cost £40k to record 6 meetings a year and bung them online?

Allowing for an officers time to be at the meetings - say 4hrs a time - 24 hours.
Then adding a couple of days each time for editing and putting online - 8 hours x 12 - 76 hours.
So 100 hours officer time at £10 maximum = £1,000.

Buying a fairly decent camera and tripod - £1,000.

If it was to be put on the council's own website I suppose you could add something for extra bandwidth but you could stick them on youtube at no cost.

All in all, you could do it easily for under £3k, I reckon.
