City of Florence addresses how to report issues, concerns Sharing items on social media is not how the City and/or our partner agen- cies receive complaints or reports. It has become increas- ingly easy for people to share information on so- cial media expecting that it is sufficient for report- ing issues of concern. Over the past few months, we have ex- perienced community members upset that the City did not see and/or respond to social media reports related to storm damage, smoke concerns over fires, theft, or crimi- nal activity that had been shared in private and/or public community groups. While we may see items and they may be sent to City staff, the City and the Police Department do not have staff who moni- tor private and/or public community groups. The City urges community members to contact the City with any concerns or need to report an issue to a City department. Full contact details for City departments are available at www.ci.flor- ence.or.us/contact, as well as our contact form.
