MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MAY27,2015 <br />used. Torkelson indicated that Facebook can be used as a method of <br />reaching out to residents. <br />Fischer indicated that he is supportive of this idea, but felt that the site had <br />to be kept fresh and updated. Fischer indicated that it would be important <br />to have staff assigned to this duty. Keis stated that he was not sure who <br />from staff would be assigned to this duty, and agreed that the Facebook <br />account would have to be maintained in an appropriate manner. <br />Torkelson noted that with succession planning of some key staff members, <br />this could be taken into account. Torkelson agreed with the City <br />Administrator's recommendation that a workshop meeting should be held <br />to discuss the issue of social media. He also noted that there are filters <br />that can be used that prevent inappropriate content from being posted on <br />the account. Torkelson stated that between now and the workshop <br />meeting he would like to continue with the Facebook account. After the <br />workshop if a decision is made to keep the account, Torkelson indicated <br />that decisions could be made on issues of control and ownership. Montour <br />indicated that if the City keeps the Facebook account, social media <br />policies will have to be developed. <br />Keis indicated that he was not sure whether there was support by the <br />majority of the Council for a City Facebook account. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that there are a couple of staff <br />members that work jointly in maintaining the City's web page. He <br />suggested that these staff members participate in the workshop meeting. <br />The Council's consensus was that the Facebook page should be <br />unpublished until the outcome of the workshop meeting. The <br />Administrator suggested that the agenda for the workshop meeting include <br />a general information update in addition to the Facebook discussion. <br />Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2015-5-106 — CALLING A WORKSHOP <br />MEETING FOR WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2015 AT 6:00 P.M. TO <br />DISCUSS A CITY FACEBOOK PAGE AS WELL AS GENERAL <br />INFORMATIONAL UPDATE <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0).
