Marshfield Officials Considering Communications Coordinator Position at City Hall
Wednesday, January 24th, 2018 -- 8:50 AM
(WDLB) -Marshfield officials will explore the possibility of adding a Communications Coordinator position at City Hall.The Common Council voted 7-to-2 last night in favor of directing city staff to draft a job description. City Administrator Steve Barg said the concept of the position came from discussions by a special communications team which was appointed by Mayor Chris Meyer last year to look at ways the city is communicating to the public, and ways to improve that moving forward. Alderman Ed Wagner said a prime example of why a Communications Coordinator is needed was the failed street-funding referendum in August of 2015.
And since it sounds as though the public access television operations would fall under the Communications Coordinator's department, city staff will also evaluate the scope of potential equipment, staffing, and facility needs for that operation--which is currently run by Tri-Media, which has a contract with the city to do so.
