Council orders changes to communications, utility billing and schedules a work session on permit fees
Council directed staff to develop a business opt-in list and posting guidance for the city's Facebook page, approved switching from postcards to paper utility bills to permit a monthly newsletter (estimated additional cost ~$200/year), and scheduled a work session to finalize a comprehensive fee schedule including building permits and demolition fees.

City staff asked for direction on the municipal Facebook page and how the city should handle requests from private businesses to post. Communications staff reported the page gained eight followers and that the highest post reached 684 people. Council discussed options including a monthly community-events calendar, a rotating business spotlight, and posting only nonprofit events; members generally favored community-wide event posts and a business opt-in list rather than reposting routine business specials.
