Select board narrows who may post to town Facebook page to admin and department heads
Summary
At a Slughman select board workshop, members agreed to define 'authorized staff' for the town Facebook page as select board administration and department heads and to link the official account to the 'All About Limerick' page; staff will update the policy for a vote next week.
The select board at a Slughman workshop agreed to clarify who may post to the town's official Facebook account, narrowing the definition of "authorized staff" to the select board administration and department heads.
Staff member said the packet would be revised to name "select board admin and department heads" as authorized posters and returned to the board for a formal vote next week. Committee member cautioned that the town must ensure the "All About Limerick" page is linked to the official account and that Didi, the town clerk referenced in the discussion, has posting access.
The exchange included a brief technical interruption when meeting audio picked up laptop sound; members resumed by confirming the change and asking staff to make the edits and place the item on next week's agenda.
Next steps: staff will add the authorized-staff language and bring the revised Facebook policy to the board for a vote at the next regular meeting.
