USE OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA <br />Use of Electronic Communications at Public Meetings. See Policy, "The Use of Computer <br />Hardware during City Council, Boards, Commission, and Committee Meetings," approved by <br />Resolution No. 15035 on July 12, 2010, and attached hereto as Attachment 1. <br />VI. PROCEDURES FOR CITY COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE <br />A. City Council Use of City Letterhead. Resolution No. 13644, Adopted June 7, 1999, and <br />entitled, "A Resolution Approving and Adopting City Council Policy Regarding Use of City <br />Letterhead and City Logo and Rescinding Any And All Prior Such Policies," is attached <br />hereto as Attachment 2. <br />B. Use of Title on Candidate Endorsements and Ballot Measures. <br />1. A City official can lawfully endorse a candidate for election or a ballot measure and <br />identify themselves using their job or political title (e.g., Joe Smith, Townville <br />Assistant City Manager or Lucy Lawful, Vice Mayor of Townville). <br />2. The caveats are as follows: a) the City employee or official may not mislead the <br />public into thinking that she other is speaking in official capacity or on behalf of the <br />City, b) the employee or official must not use public resources such as letterhead, <br />and c) the City employee's or official's off duty speech must not interfere with <br />official duties. <br />3. The Institute for Local Government suggests the following practice: officeholders <br />may allow their names and titles to be used, subject to a condition that there is an <br />asterisk by their name indicating that titles and organizational affiliations are for <br />identification purposes only, and do not imply an endorsement by the organization <br />itself. <br />VII.
