- No off-topic posts.
- No political statements, including comments that support or endorse a candidate, ballot proposition or political party.
- No posts that promote discrimination of any kind.
- No posts encouraging illegal activity or information that could compromise public safety or security.

All posts and comments are public records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act.

The City of Marysville reserves the right to remove posted content that does not comply with these policies.

Communication with the City through social media sites does not constitute a legal or official notice or comment.
