City social media platforms are not public forums and are intended to be a communications tool to share news, updates on City projects programs, resources and emergency information directly from the City.
Research and local data have shown that public comment sections on government social media platforms can become a source of misinformation, confusion, and content unrelated to the City's original posts. Disabling comments ensure our messages remain clear and do not lead to public confusion, misinformation or become distracted by off-topic content.
The City provides many ways for citizens to provide feedback including the bi-annual citizen satisfaction and business surveys, and many other surveys related to topics, issues and public interest.
Additional ways to stay engaged and provide comments to the City include:
• Email us directly at communications@dunedin.gov
• Contact the City Commission at CityCommission@Dunedin.gov
• Contact the City Manager at jennifer.bramley@dunedin.gov
• Contact any Department Director through our website's "Contact Us" section
• Attend or watch Commission meetings, where public comment is welcome for agenda and non-agenda items, and/or submit comments in advance through the eComment portal
• Join a City Board or Committee or attend a meeting. Dunedin has 20+ volunteer resident appointed advisory bodies; learn more at Dunedin.gov/your-government/boards-and-committee
All City content remains shareable. Reactions (likes, etc.) are still enabled. Content can shared to individual social media pages or community pages. Residents can also direct message the City with questions on social media content through the platform's direct message feature.
