ABSTRACT: “WE ARE really excited,” city administrator
Jason Stilwell said in an email to all city employees Thursday morning. “For
the past two years, we have all worked together to make progress in the City of
Carmel.” He was announcing the launch of www.CarmelCityNews.com. “As a team
member, you know about the changes and the progress. However, outside of city
hall, not many really know about what has taken place,” Stilwell continued.
“We’ve been a bit too focused on getting things done and not focused enough on sharing
that progress with our neighbors in Carmel.”
The blog, he said, will keep locals “informed on everything that’s
happening in our community,” including updates and changes in the city, arts
and events, and goings on at the police department. “It’s clear to us that
residents of Carmel consistently want to know more as we work to make the necessary
changes and fix the problems we face,” Stilwell wrote. He asked employees to
provide information about their departments for inclusion on the blog, and said
it also includes a “Pic of the Week” competition “and a section dedicated to
dogs and dog lovers called ‘Wags n’ Tags,’” to offer a “lighter side,”
according to the news article entitled "City launches its own news service," The Carmel Pine Cone, August 22, 2014.
