Committee members considered a revised Sexting Prohibited Ordinance that staff said now includes a section addressing deepfakes and incorporates minor clarifying changes recommended by the city attorney. According to the committee summary, earlier concerns that the ordinance was overly broad were resolved and the language was drafted to allow room for future technological change; staff noted members of the public may still comment during the Common Council meeting.
Brendan Flanagan moved, and Erin Kutz seconded, a motion to recommend the Sexting Prohibited Ordinance to the Common Council. On a roll call vote the motion carried: Flanagan-Aye, Morgan Heller-Aye, Kutz-Aye, Tom Marx-Aye, Dennis Crow Sr.-Aye, Rich Stevenson-Aye. The committee’s recommendation sends the ordinance to the next Common Council meeting, where public input is still available.
