A cost estimate could then be presented to the Board of Aldermen for review. The Board would like the Law Enforcement Subcommittee of the CCEC and staff to develop a scope and rationale for a traffic stop study. Recommendation 5 – The CCEC recommends that the attached article be posted to the City’s website and communicated to the public. - The Board was in favorable consensus. Alderman Sokol pointed out small scrivener’s error in the article – “Before you make “a” call to report suspicious…….”

The final item to consider relates to direct communication to the community from a board or commission. Historically, boards and commissions have been required to make recommendations to the Board of Aldermen before information could be communicated to the public. The information would then be distributed through City channels as a City communication. To allow for the rapid development and distribution of timely information, the CCEC has requested that the City consider an expedited process for some communications. The Board was in favorable consensus with prior review by staff. The Board of Aldermen should consider allowing boards and commissions the opportunity to place messages or communications on their website subpages, with City social media posts and/or the Clayton Connection providing links to the information. The messaging would need to be strictly informative and should not be political, controversial, or advocate on behalf of the City.
