Summary

Council Member Leanna Payne said the city is not using social media platforms efficiently and urged the website be updated with newly passed and missing resolutions and ordinances; Rocky Gaines agreed.

During group discussion on Oct. 5, Council Member Leanna Payne expressed concern that the city is "not using their Social Media platforms to inform the citizens efficiently" and asked that the city website be updated with newly passed resolutions and ordinances as well as any missing documents. Council Member Rocky Gaines agreed with Payne's assessment.

Payne said the lack of timely online information leaves residents underinformed about council actions and local services. The council did not vote on a communications plan or allocate budget during the meeting; the discussion was recorded for potential follow-up at a future meeting.

If the council pursues updates, staff would need to provide a proposed communications plan, responsibilities, and any resource needs for council consideration.
