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.

Proper webcasting requires
just a little more than £1,000 equipment to do it properly and to be honest if we're going to do it at all then I want it to look as near to televised parliamentary debates as possible.
Sound would be the major hurdle as the room would have to be wired up properly and I don't envy anyone that job, particularly when it comes to editing.
