Council postpones social media personnel policy vote and tables code-of-conduct amendment
Summary
On Feb. 26 the Mandeville City Council postponed a vote on an ordinance adding a social media policy for municipal civil-service employees to March 12 and tabled a separate ordinance amending the code of conduct for elected officials, employees and contractors; both motions passed by 5-0 votes (postponement and tabling respectively).
The Mandeville City Council on Feb. 26 deferred action on two personnel and ethics-related ordinances.
Councilwoman Cynthia Strong-Thompson moved to postpone Ordinance 26-07, which would add a social media policy to the personnel rules for municipal civil service employees, until the council's March 12 meeting; the motion was seconded by Councilman Scott Discon and adopted 5-0. The postponement means the council will revisit the proposed social media policy at the March 12 meeting.
Separately, Council considered Ordinance 26-08, an amendment to the code of conduct that would apply to elected officials, unclassified employees, board and commission appointees, and city contractors. After an initial motion to adopt, Councilman Kevin Vogeltanz moved to table Ordinance 26-08; the motion to table was seconded by Councilman Discon and passed 5-0, leaving the measure inactive pending further council action.
The meeting minutes record the procedural outcomes but do not include the proposed ordinance text, staff analysis, or stated reasons for postponement or tabling in the transcript. The council did not record public comment on these items in the minutes provided.
