Staff shows revamped commission webpage, QR code and business cards; commissioners suggest FAQ and chamber link
Summary
City staff demonstrated a redesigned Community Multicultural Commission web page with a QR code and printed business cards for commissioners. Members asked for an FAQ, links to community resources (chamber directory) and cautioned against promoting private businesses directly on the city site.
Darcy (staff member) presented updates to the commission’s web page and distribution cards, explaining that a new QR code appears on business cards and links directly to meeting videos, transcripts, and minutes. Darcy said she had ordered business cards for commissioners and walked through quick links now on the site, including emergent bilingual resources, 5 Loaves Food Pantry, and new-resident information.
Commission members raised how to help residents find local services without appearing to endorse private vendors. One member suggested linking to the Chamber of Commerce directory as a neutral resource; staff and another commissioner cautioned the city must avoid preferential promotion of private businesses. Commissioners also suggested an FAQ section with a small set of topic links (utilities, service requests, handymen) rather than an exhaustive list. Staff agreed to draft an FAQ and add a chamber link if the commission supports it.
The website update also included a revised overview paragraph and a links list to bylaws and the city code of ordinances. Commissioners were asked to review member listings and report any spelling or district errors to staff.
