Here’s an excerpt from the Easy Reader by Robb Fulcher
“The main thing I hear is that business owners feel they don’t have somewhere go keep up to date with what is going on,” Bobko said.
He said the city website is not doing the job.
“It won’t shock you when I say the city is not cutting-edge with its I.T.,” Bobko said. “We try really hard, but sometimes I feel we’re using the best East German technology available.”
Creating an updated web presence is among the council’s goals, “we just are not there yet,” he said.
He turned to local business consultant Josh Ochs, owner of Media Leaders, who said he would pitch in to help city officials communicate through Facebook, Twitter and emails. He said about 75 percent of Hermosa families use Facebook, and most local businesses do to.
Ochs said he envisions fresh updates on a Facebook page every 24 hours, for the businesses and the residents. People would also be able to leave comments.
