Marshfield No Longer Streaming Meetings on City's Facebook Page

Wednesday, March 31st, 2021 -- 11:00 AM

The City of Marshfield will no longer be streaming their government meetings live on the City's Facebook Page until further notice.

The reasoning for doing so is members of the Common Council in 2019 said, no comments are to be allowed during meetings.   City Administrator Steve Barg said, "In approving to stream its meetings live on Facebook Live on July 9th of 2019, the Mayor and Council made it very clear that the decision was based on comments not being shown during the meetings."

"Recently, it has become apparent that they are unable to prevent this from occurring. So for now, their meetings will not be on Facebook Live, but this issue will be placed on an upcoming Council agenda for review and further consideration."

Please watch the meetings stream on the City’s website at ci.marshfield.wi.us or on their cable channel 991 until a decision is made.   The meeting video will be uploaded to the City Facebook Page and YouTube accounts after a meeting is adjourned so comments then can be made.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
