r' I.O.-6
On June 17, 1991 our Committee met with several members of the
Public Information Committee which has been formed by the County
Administrator at the request of the Board. We reviewed the
attached draft Public Information Program and are very impressed
with all of the work which has gone into this program. We would
like staff to circulate this program to the media for their
comments. We would also suggest that Board members review and
comment on the draft if they have any concerns or suggestions to
make. Staff also intend to review the program with the
Department Heads at their meeting June 27, 1991, following which
all appropriate comments will be incorporated into this draft.
We have then asked for the opportunity to review the final
version of the program at our meeting on. July 15, 1991 and will
then plan to report this matter back to the Board of Supervisors
on July 23 , 1991.
