Chair Jacobs said the Board received an email recently about a situation where a <br /> vendor was linked to the health department's page. He asked if the County allows links for "for <br /> profit" businesses. He would like to see a weather button link on the site. <br /> Jim Northrup said there is no policy for links on the County pages. <br /> Chair Jacobs said he feels there should be a policy in place. <br /> Carla Banks said government sites usually don't have links to for-profit groups. <br /> Jim Northrup said a policy could be put in place. <br /> Carla Banks said a weather visual could be added. <br /> Commissioner porosin suggested staff look at the Wake County site. He said there is a <br /> drop down menu under each tab. <br /> Carla Banks said this is the idea for this page. <br /> Commissioner Rich said the term "stay connected" is widely used. <br /> Commissioner Rich said she loves the idea of adding the forecast to front page. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked about the "community giving" tab. <br /> Carla Banks said that is for the Orange County Community Giving fund, and that tab <br /> will take you to that website. <br /> Commissioner Price said she is checking other county websites and she sees the <br /> visitor and community member tabs. She would like to see what is going to go under these <br /> tabs on the Orange County website. <br /> Carla Banks said the goal was to pick categories that better organize the content. <br /> Jim Northup said staff is looking at budgeting every 2-3 years for refreshing and <br /> revising the web site design. <br /> Chair Jacobs expressed appreciation for the improvements and the update. He asked <br /> about next steps. <br /> Jim Northup said staff will report back to the Board on the usability and will plan to <br /> launch the site in early 2015. <br /> 7.
