Escalon Recreation Commission approves minutes, adopts 2026 adult softball rules and recreation social media policy

At its April 1 meeting the Escalon Recreation Commission approved the consent calendar and took three formal actions by voice vote.

Minutes: The commission approved the minutes from the Feb. 11, 2026 meeting after a motion and second. The voice vote passed; the transcript does not record an itemized tally.

Adult softball rules: On agenda item 6 the commission considered adopting the 2026 adult softball rule book. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the new player identification cards (photo IDs) and who would prepare and verify them. Following a motion and second, the commission adopted the 2026 adult softball rule book by voice vote; the transcript records the vote as passing but not a numerical roll‑call tally.

Escalon Recreation social media policy: On agenda item 7 staff presented a draft Escalon Recreation social media policy covering encouraged content (event highlights, volunteer spotlights), prohibitions (political/campaign content, personal staff opinions), photo‑consent guidance for minors and account oversight. Staff emphasized that the account is intended to be volunteer‑run by recreation commissioners rather than an official city account and that safeguards such as disabling tags/messages and multi‑person account oversight would be used. The commission moved, seconded, and adopted the Escalon Recreation social media policy by voice vote; the transcript again records the motion as passed without a numerical tally.

All three actions were recorded in the meeting as passed by voice vote; minutes and staff will reflect the formal approvals in the official record.
