Carbondale council adopts livestreaming and social media terms
Summary
The City Council accepted a Livestreaming and Retention policy for council meetings and Social Media Terms of Use after discussion of whether the rules should be a policy, a resolution, or codified; the motion passed unanimously.
Ashley Madden, a city employee, presented a proposed policy titled "Livestreaming and Retention of City Council Meetings" along with Social Media Terms of Use. Madden described the documents to the council and opened discussion on whether the items should be adopted as a policy, passed as a resolution, or added to the city code under section 1-203 (Meetings).
City Attorney Tom Barnes II commented during the discussion; the transcript records input on classification but does not provide the text of his remarks. Councilmember Ronald Moeller moved to accept the Livestreaming and Retention policy and the Social Media Terms of Use; Kevin Seals seconded and the motion carried with all in favor.
The council did not record a roll-call vote or the precise implementation schedule in the transcript. The adopted policies will guide how the city preserves livestream recordings and the rules governing official social media accounts, but the record does not specify where or when the policies will be posted or when retention timelines will begin to run.
