Town OKs the Site

This blog and the concept of an "electronic neighborhood watch" was presented at the Woodsboro Town workshop last monday, Feb 25th. You'll have to check town meeting minutes for the precise language but the commissioners approved three things, roughly paraphrased:

1. To support this site and provide a link from the town website to here.
2. They assigned a technical administrator for the site.
3. They designated the Woodsboro Park Commissioner as the park's block captain.

The need for block captains was discussed: Enough captains are needed to adequately represent the community. However, too many folks initiating posts on this site could get chaotic. It was generally agreed that a good sized group would include block captains for: Downtown North, Downtown South, Copper Oaks I, Copper Oaks II, and the Park. These folks will be supported by the technical administrator to teach them how to operate the site and help when troubles arise.

The block captains are expected to post discussions of their region. They can also communicate for those who don't have a computer or are unable or unwilling to participate directly. They will be granted administrative ability to initiate posts like this one titled, "Town OKs the Site". Any citizen will be able to comment on a post.

Recruitment efforts are underway. Please contact the town office or any of the commisioners if you are interested in volunteeering. Currently we have the technical administrator and the Park captain.
