City disables online comments

Dec 11, 2023 | 9:01 AM

The city announced that it has disabled the ability to add comments on its social media platforms.

CAO Mike Fox said most people online are respectful, but some content clearly violates City policy, and they don’t have the staffing levels to properly police their pages.

City Parks and Recreation management and staff became the latest target of trolls after repeated shutdowns of Echo Pool mostly due to a shortage of lifeguards.

Fox says there are plenty of ways for people to express their concerns to the city including e-mails, phone calls, or attending City Council meetings.
