Campton Hills board adopts social media use policy
Summary
The Campton Hills Village Board approved Resolution 25-41 adopting a social media use policy and agreed on a short-term workflow: trustees will review proposed posts within 24 hours before the clerk posts; posts will mirror Community Counts unless special circumstances arise.
The Campton Hills Village Board voted to adopt Resolution 25-41, an updated social media use policy intended to guide what the village posts on its official Facebook page.
Trustee Janet moved adoption and outlined a short-term approach to ease trustee concerns: staff will draft proposed topics for posts, circulate them to trustees and give a 24-hour window for comments; absent objections, the clerk will post the content. Several trustees emphasized that routine material from the village's Community Counts feed should be replicated on the village Facebook page, and that any time-sensitive announcements not included in Community Counts (meeting cancellations, emergency notices) could be posted separately.
Trustees also discussed Open Meetings Act (OMA) precautions: the clerk will circulate drafts and trustees were advised to reply by blind copy to avoid serial-meeting pitfalls. The resolution passed by roll call vote.
