Frank Clifton said he will take the blame for the logo. He said he did not realize that it <br /> would rise to the level of a Board of County Commissioners policy decision. He said the twitter <br /> and Facebook projects are viewed as more informational than interactive. <br /> Frank Clifton said he would suggest scheduling a work session discussion on this issue <br /> in the fall, if the Board of County Commissioners so choses. <br /> Chair Jacobs supported the motion and said the Board needs to give direction on what <br /> rises to the level of concern of the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said the Board is not talking about micromanagement of the <br /> staff. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Chair Jacobs asked about the communications plan and noted that two Commissioners <br /> showed an interest in being involved. He said that the Board of County Commissioners wants <br /> to be involved in the plan. <br /> Commissioner Rich said she is concerned about an in-house graphic design staff <br /> specialist. She believes that this service could be accomplished on a consulting basis using <br /> multiple graphic designers. <br /> Chair Jacobs said this is a budget question. <br /> 5. Consent Agenda <br /> • Removal of Any Items from Consent Agenda <br /> 5-e and 5-g were temporarily removed. <br /> • Approval of Remaining Consent Agenda <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Rich to <br /> approve the remaining items on the consent agenda. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> • Discussion and Approval of the Items Removed from the Consent Agenda <br /> Item 5-e <br /> Chair Jacobs said, with the changes being made, there is discussion of initiation of <br /> policies and programs that conserve energy and reduce fuel utility resource consumption. He <br /> said this is good, but it fails to address resources and only addresses water and energy. He <br /> noted that he attends events where plastic and Styrofoam are used and print items are on only <br /> one side of the page. He asked if he is missing some articulation of policy about these issues. <br /> Wayne Fenton said this would be addressed in overall environmental responsibility <br /> goals. He said work can certainly be done with individual departments, such as purchasing. <br /> Chair Jacobs said he would bring this up during the later presentation. <br /> A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner McKee to approve of <br /> the revisions to the Adopted County Energy, Water and Fuel Conservation Policies. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked where and when issues just raised will be discussed and <br /> Chair Jacobs said this will be addressed on item 8-d. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
