The Board <br />designated Commissioners Margaret Brown and Steve Halkiotis to work with staff on <br />considering several questions related to the video as well as the contract for Orange County's <br />Web site design and the upcoming Report to the People. Among other things, the Board <br />asked that a general or overall theme be developed and used for all three communications <br />(video, web site and Report to the People) and that there be opportunity within the <br />development process for each communication for the Board's input and review. <br />Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Halkiotis and staff met several times to discuss the three <br />planned communications, overall themes and production processes. For the video, they also <br />received presentations and reviewed sample work products from the two vendors involved, <br />including the proposed video provider - Horizon Video Productions, Inc. Below is additional <br />background information related to the proposal.
