2017-04-18 MINUTES 1 <br />COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />COMMISSIONER’S AUDITORIUM <br />SPECIAL MEETING <br /> <br />TUESDAY 1:00 P.M. APRIL 18, 2017 <br /> <br />Board members present: Chairman Paul Jewell & Vice-Chairman Laura <br />Osiadacz. Absent - Commissioner Obie O’Brien. <br /> <br />Others: Mandy Buchholz, Deputy Clerk of the Board II; Julie <br />Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board. <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETING BOCC - FACEBOOK COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />At 1:00 p.m. Chairman Jewell opened a Special Meeting that was set <br />to allow for follow up on a Special Meeting held on 4/4/2017 to <br />consider creating an Official County Commissioners Facebook Page. <br /> <br />Commissioner Osiadacz explained that after the last meeting with the <br />Board as well as the Clerk and Deputy Clerk she had a list of <br />questions and concerns to get answers/solutions to. She reviewed a <br />list of ideas she came up with and for what to post which was <br />approximately 12 different topics/agendas. Those ranged from various <br />Boards and Committee Agendas to Commissioners Agendas and <br />proclamations. Chairman Jewell felt that it was too much. He felt <br />that if Facebook gets flooded with posts citizens will get tired of <br />seeing it and hide the Commissioners Page. He felt it would be most <br />effective to limit postings to twice a week. Commissioner Osiadacz <br />reviewed the feedback in response to concerns the Staff had and <br />explained how she felt the feedback received cleared up most of the <br />concerns Staff had. She reviewed her proposal for who and how the <br />page would be administered; audience; ways to get followers; <br />permissions; filters for profanity; who would be responsible for <br />monitoring the page off hours and holidays and notification <br />settings. <br /> <br />Chairman Jewell asked that the list of topics for posting be paired <br />down and that it be brought back to the Board’s Office Admin., <br />Meeting April 24, 2017. He stated that they will need to address <br />each Monday what will be posted each week and outside of emergency <br />notifications the list should be stuck to. Commissioner Osiadacz was <br />asked to come up with response language for the comments on the <br />page. Chairman Jewell felt using the page as a recruitment tool for <br />positions the Board is looking to fill is something he is interested <br />in to see if it reaches a bigger audience. He felt it needed to <br />state that this is a “trial” page and the Board will review it <br />within approximately 6 months. <br /> <br />
