Port Townsend city
The Port Townsend City Council will discuss establishing a new social media policy when it meets Monday.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers at historic City Hall, 540 Water St.
The council will consider assigning the Information Technology Committee the task of reviewing options for increasing the city’s presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
Historically, staff members have been concerned about the ability of the city to use those platforms and remain in compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act and Public Records Act, but it now appears that a combination of technology and policy can resolve issues, a staff memo said.
The council also will consider adopting a three-year plan covering 2016-18.
It will consider amending the building code to bring it into line with state changes.
Council office hours, during which members of the public can discuss any topic with a member of the City Council, take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday in the mayor’s office at historic City Hall, 540 Water St.
