Postings and user profiles on personal social media accounts must not state or imply that the views, conclusions, <br />statements or other social media content are an official policy, statement, position, or communication of the County, or <br />represent the views of the County or any County officer or employee. <br />Employees utilizing social media for personal use shall not conduct official County business on personal social media <br />accounts, or use the Kittitas County Government seal or other official County marks, or use the County government's name <br />to promote or endorse any product, cause, or political candidate. <br />14.4.6 Comments <br />While the County welcomes public comment by email, letter, and phone, the receipt of public comments on a County <br />social media site comes with certain legal risks and administrative challenges. Where comments are not desirable or <br />practical, the office/department should carefully consider both appropriate social media and other media tools. <br />14.4.6.1 Daily Monitoring of Comments <br />The posting office/department must dedicate sufficient resources and time to monitor daily for disallowed comments or to <br />respond to requests or questions. The social media account will be configured to send email to the office/department when <br />a comment is posted, if the option is available. <br />14.4.6.2 Right to Remove Content <br />Kittitas County reserves the right to restrict or remove any content that is deemed in violation of this social media policy or <br />any applicable law. <br />14.4.6.3 Removal of comments <br />Any content removed based on these guidelines must be retained, including the time, date, and identity of the poster when <br />available. The reason for the removal of the comment should also be documented and retained. <br />14.4.6.4 Disabling of Public Comments <br />There may be occasions where disabling public comments on a social media site is desirable. In these instances, comments <br />may be invited via email to a designated County office/department email address that is regularly monitored. <br />14.4.7 Social Media Disclaimer <br />This Social Media Disclaimer will be linked to from all County -sponsored social media sites. <br />
