2017-04-04 MINUTES 2 <br />the Board selects its Department Heads they plan to oversee and <br />Committee’s to sit on representing the County. She stated that the <br />County website is great and has everything on it already. <br /> <br />Jim Goeben, IT Director explained that he has mixed feelings. He <br />stated from a records management standpoint he feels it’s very risky <br />as he has the potential risks discussed around him all the time. <br />However from an informational standpoint he sees the potential <br />benefit. <br /> <br />Commissioner O’Brien explained that he had previously brought up the <br />topic a few years ago and after discussion and review at that time <br />the Board determined there were too many “unknowns” and opted out of <br />doing a Facebook Page. He stated that he still is not in favor of it <br />and in addition to the risks and liability it creates extra work for <br />Staff that already have a big work load. <br /> <br />Chairman Jewell stated that he is extremely cautious when it comes <br />to this topic. He stated that he feels as though it has potential to <br />open a can of worms and the County needs assurance that the risks <br />can be mitigated. He felt there are questions that still need to be <br />addressed for example who monitors the page, how often and how it <br />will be determined what content is posted. He felt that in itself <br />will require a Special Meeting to decide what will be posted etc. He <br />explained that he can see a benefit when there are emergencies going <br />on and needing to get accurate facts out. He explained that he would <br />like to support Commissioner Osiadacz, but for now he needs some of <br />the stated unknowns and concerns addressed before he could. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m. <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />DEPUTY CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mandy Buchholz Paul Jewell, Chairman <br />
