Wapello supervisors direct staff to launch county social media page and integrate website
Summary
Board voted to establish an official Wapello County social media presence and link it to the county website to deliver timely updates; staff training and administrator assignment were flagged as next steps.
The board considered a proposal to create an official Wapello County social media page that would feed updates to the county website. Speaker 8 outlined benefits including improved transparency, faster posting of agendas and notices, links to a centralized calendar and examples from other municipalities.
Speaker 8 said a social-media page could be set up quickly, with administrator training to follow. Speaker 1 moved to create the county social media page and directed staff to get it up and running; Speaker 2 seconded the motion and the board approved the plan. Board members discussed coordinating with the county auditor to assign day-to-day administration and noted the county’s current website vendor (identified in the meeting as Neapolitan Labs) may need a minor coding change to accept the social feed.
Next steps: staff to coordinate with the auditor’s office, determine an administrator, and work with the website vendor to integrate the social feed.
