21 Attachment B Cheryl, I went through your plan and was very impressed. There are a couple of small things you may want to consider (e.g. news releases is listed twice in Appendix B.) I also added in some thoughts about some of the bullet points. All of my suggestions /comments are in red. lCounty Staff Note: These comments changed to blue during the electronic transmittal. The one thing that I see missing is a specific delineation between the role of the chair and the other commissioners. I believe one of the duties of the chair is to be the de facto spokesperson for the board. That is not addressed in the plan anywhere and is something you may wish to consider. If there is an emergency situation and the county wants to be represented at a news conference, you don't want the entire board showing up (which could happen). You need to make sure in those circumstances that only one person is speaking for the board, and that person should be the chair (if available) or the vice chair (if the chair is unavailable). You may also be planning to add that into the media relations plan, but I think it's worth putting into a general communications plan as well. Maybe you could add it into the Roles section as a bullet in the Board of County Commissioners section. Also, I like the SWOT analysis in this draft plan, but I don't think it needs to be included in the final plan. That is really more of a report on the current state of affairs and is the type of info needed to use when developing your plan, but not really something that should go into the final plan. Thanks for asking me to review the report, and please let me know if you have any questions about my comments.
