Nicole Bolden--Bloomington, IN city clerk--may not be part of the council, but she is certainly part of the council meetings. She talks about her onetime attempt at live tweeting a meeting, the freedom she gives her employees to speak to the council, and the play-by-play of a series of meetings about a controversial parking garage.

City Council Chronicles provides reviews of city council meetings from across the world. Named a "Top 100 Local Government Influencer" in 2016, 2017, and 2018 by ELGL.org.
