I would like to get approval to organize the first TOML Social Media Q&A session. We would go live on Facebook Live, Twitter-Periscope and Instagram Live. We can also use Google+ Hangout.

Residents can ask us questions in real time and get answers in real-time. I believe these types of initiatives continue to help create trust in our community. We would ideally coordinate the Q&A for late May.

The Q&A session is in line with our Strategic Plans Guiding Principles: 3. We will be open and transparent, and solicit as much input as possible from our stakeholders 4. Communicate, communicate and when in doubt, communicate again.

This is also in the plans Strategic Goals and Objectives under: Achieve Better Communication, Transparency, and Public Participation on all issues. "As our Town and technology continue to evolve, we must establish a variety of mechanisms that will enable us to remain in constant communication with our residents." "To create a sustained level of openness and accountability between government and its residents, the town will strive to incorporate the values of transparency, participation and collaboration."

Fiscal Impact: TBD
