Social Media Policy Meredith explained this policy outlines the protocol and procedures for use of
social media to publicize official city services and events. Social media is
changing the way we work, connect and communicate. Because social media is
relatively new, understanding of liability issues is only now beginning to
emerge. Based on this, it is important for the City to understand that any forays
in social media-could result in a variety of situations that could negatively
impact the City. In some instances, the City could face legal challenges if
incorrect, false or non-public information is posted on a site use officially by
the City or personally by employees or elected officials.
Alderman Bruns moved to approve the social media policy, seconded by
Alderman Thatcher, the vote was:
Aye: Aldermen Cope, Super, Fuller, Hurt, Thatcher and Bruns.
