ITEM:		DISCUSSION ITEM
2.	RECENT LAUNCH OF FACEBOOK PAGE
Meeting Date:			December 1, 2011
From:			David J. Stoldt,
			General Manager
Prepared By:			Rachel Martinez

SUMMARY: MPWMD launched its own Facebook page on Nov 10. The site will be monitored daily and will we will post new content at least once a week. An announcement was sent to staff and the page gained 34 ‘likes’ in less than two weeks. We can expand our Facebook presence by ‘liking’ other organizations, including a link on the MPWMD homepage, and purchasing advertisements. The District will make a public announcement of the Facebook page in December.

RECOMMENDATION: The Committee should review the Facebook page and offer any suggestions for additional content or site publicity.
