ENGAGE ROCKVILLE TO BE DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION, PRESENTED AT MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT

A new online community engagement tool, Engage Rockville, will be a major focus of tonight's Rockville Mayor and Council meeting. The mayor and council will obtain legal advice regarding the website's relation to state laws regarding open meetings, and ex parte communications between government officials and citizens, businesses, or other individuals.

There will then be an official presentation of Engage Rockville, listed as agenda item 11.

Right now, the website offers a poll, and invites users to upload photos of their favorite locations in Rockville. It also asks you to share "your big idea for the future of Rockville."

According to the site, 5 city employees from the Planning Department are participating in the online discussion.
