Council reviews TextMyGov communications proposal; decision deferred
Summary
Council was introduced to a TextMyGov proposal intended to give residents a 24/7 reporting channel for town issues; council deferred a decision to a future meeting.
Councilmembers reviewed a proposal for TextMyGov, a platform designed to open a 24/7 line of communication between residents and municipal staff and that can integrate with the town website. The minutes list examples of use cases: reporting an 18-wheeler stuck at the railroad crossing at Y.U. Jones Road & FM 2759, reporting a stray dog or a lost dog.
Council did not make a purchase or contract decision at the Feb. 19 meeting and said more discussion will follow at the next council meeting. Separately, Edward Taylor reported fiber-optic service is expected to be installed by the end of May, which council said should improve town systems and connectivity.
