Facebook Live

Overview

The County Executive was directed to work with staff to live-stream the regular Board of County Supervisors meetings on Facebook Live. The feed should be the same stream as the County is currently using to stream the Board of County Supervisors meetings; and the County shall make it clear by providing a disclaimer in the Facebook Live post for each meeting that the stream, including any comments, questions, or concerns by the public, will not be monitored, and therefore, any questions or FOIA requests should be made to the appropriate agencies. The disclaimer should also make it clear that comments left on the Facebook Live post will not be part of any public hearing(s) and explain the process for signing up to speak at a public hearing, if they so desire. The County Attorney shall review all processes and disclaimer language for any legal issues. The County Executive will provide a timeline for implementation at a Board meeting or via memo to the Board. This information should be included in the county’s social media policy.
