TELL YOUR FRIENDS: Camas to hold its second remote City Council (Zoom) meeting on 4/20 @ 7pm
- Apr 16, 2020
- 2 min read
The city of Camas released information citizens need through two separate channels again this Thursday evening and again, past regular business hours.
The notice went out partially through Twitter, partially through Facebook and partially through the city's meeting portal - the announcement was not present on the city's homepage at all as of the publishing of this story. A standard "best practice" approach for an organization that wanted all readers to have the full story would be to post the main story in a centralized location without any restrictions to access (e.g. the city's public home page) and then link back to that core information in all social media channels like Twitter, Facebook and NextDoor.
The city has again chosen to tell some of the story in one place and some of it in another leading to confused citizens - some that may be left out of the loop entirely. WATCH Camas will continue to work to bring you the clearest presentation of the information in a single, easy to access location.

If you'd like to dial in by phone, there is a more complicated process:
Dial 877-853-5257. Enter Webinar ID 93507714003, press #, and then press # again.
The city will again hold this meeting through the Zoom platform, which has now had it's use discouraged or has been outright banned for employee use by large companies like Google, government organizations like NASA and the US Senate and various Public Education Systems due to unaddressed security vulnerabilities impacting both meeting host and meeting attendee privacy.
