Governing statutes require the department to destroy the hard drives of its computers prior to disposal or surplus. The Department is seeking grant funding and the aid of nonprofit community-based organizations to provide the needed hardware and services. The Committee also suggested partnering with community colleges to permit students to perform these services as a class project. The Committee directed EHS to prepare its best proposal as a discussion item for consideration by the Board of Supervisors some time after January 1, 2014. The proposal should minimally identify the number of computers to be donated, the gross cost to ready each computer, any mitigating grant or other revenue, an implementation plan, a plan for monitoring recipient compliance, and an estimate of the salvage revenue forfeited, if any, in lieu of the donation program. AYE: Chair Candace Andersen, Vice Chair Karen Mitchoff Passed 5. Staff recommends that work on a County social media policy be postponed until January 2014 with a new goal of preparing a draft policy by March/ April 2014, to allow the CAO to respond to more immediate demands on staff resources. The Committee accepted the correspondence from the Communications & Media Director on the status of development of a County social media policy, and agreed to postpone additional work on the policy until January 2014 in recognition of other pressing demands on staff. AYE: Chair Candace Andersen, Vice Chair Karen Mitchoff Passed 6. Provide direction to staff as to the future disposition of the referral. The Committee decided to retain on referral the matter of developing a policy to promote ethical conduct of County employees who are involved in the selection of contractors who may also be potential employers, and directed staff to survey comparable counties to find examples of such policies, and to report back any findings and/or recommendations. AYE: Chair Candace Andersen, Vice Chair Karen Mitchoff Passed 7. Adjourn The Committee adjourned the meeting at 10:25 a.m. The next meeting is scheduled for November 18, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
