Council plans mayoral introduction in newsletter; discusses public contact options
Summary
Councilors asked the new mayor whether he wanted a public phone number listed and discussed placing a short introductory paragraph in the city newsletter. The City Recorder explained procedures for public contact via city hall and email.
Councilors asked Richard Watson whether he wanted his phone number to be public and discussed including a short introductory note from the mayor in the city newsletter. The City Recorder said, "since I've been the city recorder, I think the mayor is the only person who's had a public phone number," and explained that residents can contact city hall or use city email addresses if the mayor prefers to keep his phone private.
The group agreed a brief introduction of a couple paragraphs would be appropriate and discussed timing for inclusion in the next newsletter; the City Recorder offered to accept copy by Thursday/Friday to meet mailing deadlines and said staff could include material in subsequent editions if necessary. The mayor said he would consider adding a public phone number but asked for time to decide.
No formal action was taken on contact policy; the discussion was recorded as outreach planning and communications coordination.
