Why is the codes department unfair?

Can the city make a Facebook page to post things, like the agenda, on? It seems most people are on Facebook anyway and the updates would get automatically sent out on our newsfeeds. In between announcements about people harvesting turnips in their Farmville. Seriously though, it would be easier to update and would cost the city nothing in web site maintenance.
Answer: That's a good idea. I will try to get it done....

Answer: It's a beaver dam. Efforts are being made to take it out. ...
