Provide info on public private session #11

Closed patcon closed 8 years ago

Not sure if this fits, but figured that one way for a user to engage if really excited about an upcoming agenda item would be to attend in person. So I was trying to sort out whether we could display if meetings are public or private: https://github.com/opencivicdata/scrapers-ca/issues/154

So it seems that this is hard to determine ahead of time. But then I found this data set that can give us historical info on how often certain sessions are open or closed, in case we want to pursue this later:

(Closing since this isn't actionable right now.)
