Live Oak council asks staff to produce plan to consolidate city social media accounts
Summary
Council members directed staff to develop a plan to streamline multiple City of Live Oak social media accounts after describing inconsistent postings across department accounts; staff will return with a report.
Council members in the City of Live Oak asked staff to prepare a plan to consolidate or streamline the city’s social media accounts and return to the council with a report.
Members said the city currently uses multiple accounts — including accounts tied to police, fire and animal control — and that postings have been uneven. A staff member noted the city maintains an archival program for public records tied to social posts.
Council discussion included a volunteer offer from a staff member named Nick to help manage the accounts if the council wished to assign a dedicated staff person. Council members asked staff to prepare a written report and a recommended plan for consolidating accounts and standardizing messaging.
The direction recorded in the meeting was procedural: staff will return with a report and implementation plan rather than immediate policy changes or ordinance amendments. The report will identify which accounts would be consolidated, record-keeping implications and recommended governance for posting during emergencies.
