Mt. Lebanon Communications Recognized
The May 2007 mtl magazine for Mt. Lebanon contains this piece of news of interest:
I put "municipal blog" in bold font because I'm not sure what that refers to. The Press Release for the Governor's Awards says:
Again, I'm not sure what the "blog" part of that announcement refers to. There is the High School Renovation blog maintained by the School District. There is the Aquatic Center blog used by the Municipality, but which is, AFAIK, at the end of its useful life (at least, nothing new has been posted there in months). Did I miss something? Is a general purpose Mt. Lebanon Municipality blog in the works? Or other special purpose blogs? Either or both would be great.
GOVERNOR’S AWARD Mt. Lebanon has been awarded a prestigious 2007 Governor’s Award for its diversified communications efforts. Governor’s awards are made in several categories. Mt. Lebanon was honored in the “Information Technology” category. The application for the award, which was prepared by the public information office, recreation department and management of information systems office, detailed Mt. Lebanon’s communication expansion beyond print communication to cyber communication such as an enhanced Web site, e-mail blasts and a municipal blog that provides residents with access to information 24 hours a day. Not only do these effort help keep increasingly mobile residents abreast of issues, but they also reduce costs in printing, postage and staff time. Commission President David Humphreys, Recreation Program Assistant Jackie Strasbaugh, Information Systems Officer Nicholas Schalles and Public Information Officer Susan Morgans accepted the award at a luncheon held in Harrisburg in April.
I put "municipal blog" in bold font because I'm not sure what that refers to. The Press Release for the Governor's Awards says:
Mt. Lebanon Township received an Information Technology Award for making municipal news and information available to its citizens 24 hours a day through the use of its Web site, e-mail, and blog to communicate with its residents. Today's mobile citizens in Mt. Lebanon have the ability to share opinions on community issues without necessarily having to attend public meetings.
Again, I'm not sure what the "blog" part of that announcement refers to. There is the High School Renovation blog maintained by the School District. There is the Aquatic Center blog used by the Municipality, but which is, AFAIK, at the end of its useful life (at least, nothing new has been posted there in months). Did I miss something? Is a general purpose Mt. Lebanon Municipality blog in the works? Or other special purpose blogs? Either or both would be great.
