Regular Meeting Commissioners
Call to Order: 4:00 PM
Records Management Committee Recommendation on Employee Training
Mr. Goeben told the board the Records Management Committee created an electronic records
management handbook. He presented the committee’s recommendation that the Prosecuting
Attorney’s Office and the Records Management Committee together provide training to all staff using
the handbook as a reference and that the training be required for all employees.
Board direction: Board approved the plan to provide required training and asked the committee to 1)
create a schedule for retraining, 2) have the employee sign a training acknowledgement form, and 3)
put the signed form in their employment file.
Records Management Committee Recommendation on Designating Records Officers
Mr. Goeben presented to the board the Records Management Committee’s recommendation that each
department head and elected official designate a Records Officer in order to identify the person having
the responsibilities defined in the RCW 40.14.040, in addition to the Public Records Officer defined in
RCW 42.56.580. The committee further recommended these may be the same person or multiple
people, at least one person with the Records Officer responsibilities, or a designee, shall attend the
Records Management Committee meetings, and at least one person with the Public Records Officer
responsibilities should attend the meetings.
Board direction: The board asked Mr. Goeben to get Management Team input and, if they have no
concerns, place the resolution on an agenda as a consent item.
Updates to Technology Policies
The IT Committee recommended the Board approve updates to Technology Policy 7 - Data
Management, Access, and Protection, section 7.4.1 Stored electronic records, and Technology Policy 8 -
Email, section 4.3 Access, to provide department heads, elected officials, and their designees access to
all county records created and received by their department/office, without requiring completion of the
Request for Access to Network Records form. The form will continue to be required for inter-
departmental access to county records.
Board direction: The board approved the changes as presented.
Auditorium Audio Mixer Purchase
Commissioner O’Brien had previously asked IT to look into options to be able to use more than 4
microphones in the board’s auditorium. IT investigated and Mr. Goeben presented 3 options for the
board’s consideration:
1. New 8 port mixer - only supported mixer with FTR is the Antex DMX-88 ~$2500. Could buy a
new mixer not listed as compatible with FTR ~$500, and use AVCA for court proceedings that
happen in BOCC auditorium. New mixer still may work with FTR but it is not known until
installed.
2. Double the 4 port mixer ~$1500 to expand the 4 port we have. We would have to use one input
to combine the two mixers losing a port to the connection, providing 7 microphones.
3. Add more mic splitters ~$100 dollars for 3 more. This option increases to possible points of
failure but is the least expensive.
Board direction: The board approved option 3.
Other business
Mr. Goeben updated the board:
• Security Training Update
72% of employees has completed the training. IT received a lot of feedback that the training was
informative and appreciated.
• MAN charges for WA State Sales Tax
Mr. Goeben received a notice from the City of Ellensburg they have not been collecting sales tax
on the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The city will be invoicing the county $8,172.19 for
2015-2017 taxes. Sales tax will be included in 2018 and future invoices.
