Discussion on issues with the sign-in process with this event. Agreed that it was harder with a first-time steward at a first time location. Also discussed how this compounds current issue of Reeve not being able to check bank transactions directly.
Social Media Officer Position
Discussion on what should be done with social media duties going forward. Consensus was that ‘Social Media Officer’ is useful as a separate position so that it isn’t tied to one individual position if that officeholder isn’t comfortable with social media, however the expectation is that this is a minor portfolio that can and will often be held with an existing officeholder. Also discussed that Social Media can be performed by multiple people, the Officer person will be mainly to coordinate this. Discussion to continue at the next Council Meeting.
