What will broadcast on DeKalb County Television, the government access programs played on cable, is the latest source of friction between the county’s chief executive and commission.

Commissioner Lee May has introduced a resolution calling for “uniformity” on the use of DCTV. May had earlier complained that the CEO did not approve taping commission budget hearings while the CEO’s “state of the county” address airs 60 times a week.

The administration countered that the daylong meetings would have required 13 hours of recording time and another 56 hours to ready the footage for airing, overwhelming the DCTV staff of four.

The resolution is expected to be discussed in commission committee in March.
