Suamico board refers podcast/newsletter idea to staff for prototype review
Summary
A motion to pilot a podcast and other simple communications was referred to staff for a prototype that trustees will review at a future meeting; the transcript records voices for and against but does not include a formal recorded tally for the referral vote.
An unidentified speaker on the Suamico village board proposed developing a podcast and other simple communications — including newsletters and brief interviews with local business owners — to increase awareness of village activities and services.
The speaker said the work should not be onerous and argued the effort could be as simple as writing a letter: "growth and communicating to our community is our responsibility," the speaker said, adding that a prototype could be created and returned to the board for review.
The speaker formally moved to refer the concept back to staff so they could "create potential subject matter" and assemble a sample podcast for trustees to review. Trustee McKeefree is recorded in the transcript as seconding the motion.
When the chair called for voices on the referral, several individuals responded "aye" and "nay," but the transcript does not include a roll-call tally or clear formal outcome for the referral motion. The record shows the board moved on to the fire department items after the voice exchange.
The board did not adopt a formal communications policy at the meeting; the action recorded in the transcript is a referral to staff to create a prototype and bring it back for trustee review. If the prototype comes back to the board, trustees will decide then whether to proceed.
Speakers mentioned: an unnamed board member who offered the motion (appearing in the transcript as Speaker 3); Trustee McKeefree (second). No staff timeline or deliverable date was specified in the discussion.
