Chief Information Officer Todd Jones said that they have confederated authoring and <br /> each individual department has a webmaster. IT has provided a lot of inechanisms for being <br /> able to do this. Some departments have not done this even though it is an easy thing to do. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that he has not seen the internal social networking policy for <br /> employees. He said that he has seen court cases that are coming up where employees have <br /> "liked" something on a Facebook page and were subsequently fired. <br /> Todd Jones said that it is on the Orange County intranet under "Policies." He said the <br /> Orange County social media policy is more geared toward how to set up a departmental social <br /> media account. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz asked about the departments that do not have email addresses <br /> on their websites and how this can be facilitated. <br /> Financial Services Director Clarence Grier said that he would provide direction. He said <br /> that he is reviewing the staff needs for Information Technology and the proposed eight <br /> employees from the IT Strategic Plan would cost about $650,000.

She asked about the <br /> ideal way for this to work. <br /> Shannon Tufts said that IT is providing a support service for the PIO to deliver the <br /> communication strategy that has been defined. The tool delivery is the domain of IT. <br /> 2.
