47 <br />residents. Examples exist elsewhere that can be discussed if <br />hoard interests are there. <br />SITGGESTI®I0T -FIVE <br />Ilse the County's web site to its fullest capacity. Although it has <br />not been the County's highest priority, staff has been working <br />internally to enhance and update the County's web site. This effort <br />has occurred within limited expenditures (hence the time delays) <br />and is an attempt to significantly update the County's Internet <br />appearance. I have only viewed incremental portions of the effort <br />which is scheduled to go live in September. It is sure to be better <br />than the current site. <br />Significant to this effort, there has been little past coordination of <br />updates and linkage between departmental sites. The new model <br />will provide better connectivity and subject search capacities. <br />Individual departmental content will still be maintained by each <br />department. ®versight to ensure collaboration, cooperation and <br />cohesiveness remains an issue to be managed. <br />SITGGESTI®l~t -SIX <br />Establish an email based informational outreach that relays <br />important information on a regular schedule to anyone and <br />everyone that desires that information or the County needs to <br />reach out and touch routinely. Much of the information sent to <br />recipients would be similar to that published in the newspaper <br />releases outlined in Suggestion -One above. It would be sent <br />instantly, at minimal cost to an active list of recipients that had <br />either requested to be on our email list or were targeted as those <br />that should receive the information to assure their knowledge. <br />(Examples of the later group would include State Legislators, the <br />Governor, the Federal Delegation, Town Elected Leaders, News <br />Media Outlets and other similar target individuals or groups.) <br />4 <br />
