All councilmembers were present with exception of Valerie Schey. <br />The bill would amend Chapter 2 of the code addressing policies and procedures governing city -owned <br />technologies, Facebook standards, social media and social networking policies and procedures. <br />Tim Scott made the presentation first acknowledging the bill was co- sponsored by Karen White, Derek <br />Dieter, Gavin Ferlic and himself. He went on to say the bill was the distillation of "best practices" taken <br />from a review of polices of at least 75 cities. <br />Karen White and Gavin Ferlic spoke in support. <br />David Varner said imposing conduct standards was a catch 22. The Council would be criticized for not <br />having a policy and for adopting one. Nonetheless he said the bill was a good start. <br />Henry Davis opposed the bill. <br />Jerry Niezgodski and Gary King said standards were long overdue. <br />Finally on motions by Gavin Ferlic and David Varner the bill was sent to Council favorably. <br />Tim Scott adjourned the meeting at 5:12 P.M. <br />
