In February, 2003, the City of Burien launched its government channel, TBC21, on Cable Channel 21. The purpose of the channel is to distribute a variety of information about government, its programs, services and concerns. Our objectives are to provide information about programs and services offered by government departments, agencies, boards, commissions and government-supported agencies.

We hope to expand citizen awareness of government and its decision-making processes by exposing citizens to live and tape delayed government meetings, to enhance existing public information materials by using cable television as a public information tool and to use the channel to disseminate public safety information in emergency situations.

The City of Burien relocated to an interim city hall in December 2006. Council meetings will be held at the Educational Resources Administration board room until the new city hall/regional library is completed in 2009. Burien City Council meetings are now being broadcast live. Council meetings are conducted the 1st and 3rd Mondays, 7 p.m.; Council study sessions are the 2nd and 4th Mondays, 7 p.m. The meetings are replayed Wednesdays at 7 p.m.,  Saturdays at 1 p.m., and at various times during the day.

Check out the programming. Some of our evening programming is run monthly such as Sound Transit Board meetings. We also regularly add new programs we hope will be of interest and that will keep you informed on current issues and activities in the region and nationally. Beginning in January, our state representatives will review the events of the week in the Legislature during the session which runs through April this year. A new weekly schedule is posted to the City Web site on Tuesdays.
