Old Business:
• MDAC members further discussed the Web Design and Links topiC .
• Renee mentioned People First and Benefits Navigator as two potentially good additions to
the MDAC website.
• Tass mentioned the Facebook page topic and there was further discussion about creating
one for MDAC. Jason (City of Milton) would be able to assist MDAC in creating a Facebook
page.
• It was also brought up how connecting an MDAC Facebook page with the Milton Fire
Department and Milton Police Department would be a great boost for such a page.
• Linking an MDAC page with other Milton based groups such as Better Together was deemed
a good idea as well.
• MDAC discussed the social media policy of Facebook. This policy states that a page cannot
promote a private business or non-government agency in any way. No solicitations or
endorsements can be made for businesses that fall into those categories.
• MDAC will need to further discuss what kinds of content can and cannot be posted should we
create a Facebook page.

questions regarding these two matters.

• The term for Tass will begin on January 1, 2014 and run through December 31, 2015.
• A second motion was made for Tass to retain the position of MDAC Chair. The motion was
made by Renee and seconded by DUdley.
• Both motions were passed by unanimous vote.
• MDAC then further discussed filling the position of Anise Castleberry. Tass mentioned that
Melinda Ross is interested, but possibly too busy at the current time.
