Horticultural & Forestry Advisory Board <br />Agenda <br />DATE <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> Website, Channel 8, social networking—Meredyth reviewed her April 19, 2011 <br />IX. <br />memorandum regarding rules and requirements for a City-sponsored social media page <br />(including Facebook, Twitter, Flicker, etc.) She commented that some emerging issues <br />for governments involved in social networking concern record-keeping, open records <br />regulations, and maintenance of sites. It was suggested that HFAB set up a Facebook <br />page for Friends of the Arboretum (which would not be subject to open government <br />rules) in order to announce events, solicit donations, and provide educational <br />information. <br />Suggestions regarding utilization of Channel 8: Post event announcements and/or links <br />to HFAB web page; produce a video of an informational walk through the Arboretum; <br />and tape presentations (such as Carol O’Meara’s talks) which can be put into a queue <br />to be broadcast for 4 – 6 weeks. <br />Per Meredyth, the City newsletter can be used for HFAB information/announcements on <br />a space-available basis. Notices must be submitted at least five weeks in advance, and <br />the newsletter is currently published three times a year. <br /> Median plantings—discussion postponed until future meeting. <br />X. <br /> Discussion Items for Next Meeting—Utilization of social media, especially <br />XI. <br />Facebook; median plantings. <br /> Adjourn—The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 pm. <br />XII. <br />
