Commission adopts updated internal social media policy to add approvals and privacy protections
Summary
The county approved a replacement to its internal social media policy (policy 23.5). The new policy formalizes admin roles, adds an approval workflow, and aims to limit posting of private contact information.
The Daggett County Commission voted to replace its existing internal social media policy (policy 23.5) with an updated document that formalizes which administrators may post, requires a two-person approval workflow for official posts, and emphasizes protection of private contact information.
Staff member Cordell presented the proposed policy as a modernization of the county’s existing rules and said it would be added to the county’s HR share drive. Commissioners raised questions about privacy, specifically whether conflict-of-interest and clerk’s office contact lists or phone numbers would appear on public websites. Staff said those items had been addressed and that the policy includes a line-of-authority for requesters and final approvers; most official posts would be approved by county staff (Peggy and the presenter) before release. An exception was noted for the sheriff’s office: Katie in the sheriff’s office may post urgent public-safety items without prior approval when time-sensitive.
After discussion about timeliness and avoiding bureaucratic delays, a commissioner moved to approve replacing the existing policy with the new 23.5 document; a second followed and the motion passed on a voice vote.
