Re: Common Council Policies and Procedures
Dear Council Members:
(574)235 -5567 TTY/TDD/TT
The attached proposed Resolution would delay indefinitely the implantation and effective date of Ordinance No.
10343 -14, which addresses various policies and procedures for Council Members when using city -owned
technologies, the Council's Facebook page, social media and social networking.
As noted both at the Committee meetings and at the Common Council meetings when those proposed regulations
were discussed, we are open to further discussion and welcome recommendations which may improve those
which we have drafted.
Our research has attempted to uncover the best practices in each of these areas. As we are all well aware,
technology is moving at a record pace. We must be ever mindful of our duties and responsibilities as public
officials and properly balance our rights and obligations with all Constitutional protections.
We again ask each of you to provide your recommendations so that the South Bend Common Council can be a
leader in this area. Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Tim Scot, sc istrict Council Member
