17 A. CABLE TELEVISION 1. Televising of County Commissioners meetings A primary communications goal for the 1999-2000 fiscal year is the televising of County Commissioner meetings. This is to be accomplished via public access cable television,perhaps on a tape-delayed basis. 2. Public Service Announcements and Meeting Information Public service announcements prepared by the County should be made available to run on cable television during the regular viewing week, and in those cases when Board meetings either are delayed or end early. Agendas for upcoming BOCC meetings and monthly meeting calendars should also be provided to the cable television channel for prompt and complete airing. 3. Monthly Cable Program Content for the County's monthly public information show should complement other communication methods used by the County. The content should be coordinated with the Manager and the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners, in order to function as part of a coherent communications strategy. B. PRESS RELEASES AND MEDIA REIATIONS While the descriptions in this section deal specifically with press releases, the general principles articulated can be utilized for other communication methods. 1. Types of Press Releases Certain types of events and milestones should automatically merit the issuance of a press release by Orange County. Topics that, should receive such treatment as standard operating procedure include: a. Events and openings (e.g. Efland-Cheeks Community Park) b. Achievements and awards (e.g. awards for financial reporting) c. Major hirings (e.g. hiring of department heads) d. Health and safety announcements (e.g. outbreaks of rabies or hepatitis) As part of the distribution, these releases will be posted on the County's Web slte. Content for other press releases should be coordinated with the Manager, Clerk, and the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners, in order to function as part of a coherent communications strategy.
