ROLL CALL FOR ATTENDANCE FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES Page 9 August 31, 2017 BUDGET HEARINGS BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS/LIBRARY BOARD Mr. Ward presented the FY 2018 – FY 2020 budget for the Board of Commissioners (BOC). Mr. Ward gave a brief summary of some of the changes that have been made in the department, such as the videotaping of meetings. One of the top priorities is to continue to impl ement a communication strategy. In the last couple of months BOC staff has been worki ng with the Department of Information Technology (IT) to implement and integrate with IT’s social media staff in IT to utilize the existing platforms and audience that IT has developed, such as Facebook ads for events and livestreaming. The next step is t o improve the BOC webpage to create a more interactive site and make it more engaging from each Commissioner’s individual page to allow the Commissioners to interact more effectively with their constituents. Mr. Ward indicated that it should take about 4-6 weeks to implement that. There is $100,000 that has been set aside for that project, which would be partially -funded by the savings from the elimination of the videotaping contract. In addition, BOC staff will work with the Commissioners to develop an abbreviated annual report that would be individualized and focused on each Commissioner’s constituents. It would be an over-sized postcard, which could include an interactive survey wit h a request for email addresses. This would provide an opportunity for constituents to sign up for electronic newsletters, making it easier to communicate with them to keep them up to date about BOC news and events. Mr. Ward answered questions posed by th e Commissioners about the line-item budget. LIBRARY BOARD Ms. Mancini indicated that there has been a small increase in the usage of the Library as the economy is improving. About 75% of the patrons are members of the general public, who are representing themselves in court on a legal issue, about 20% are attorneys and about 10% are geared for supporting the courts, Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and Corporation Counsel. Information is available to constituents on line about Library services. A new onlin e catalog has been added to the website to allow patrons to access information electronically at their desk. There are now three social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn and E -government). The E-government channel provides a digital newsletter to patrons. Ms. Mancini invited the Commissioners to sign up for the newsletters. Ms. Mancini indicated that the overall goal of the Library is to continue to provide great service to all users and become a more electronic library. Mr. Chambers indicated that since he became Chairperson of the Library Board , the Legal Aid Clinics have expanded from one to four, which are provided at no cost. Mr. Chambers indicated that they would like the Library to be more electronic; however, some things are not going to be available electronically because a small group of publishers will not provide electronic documents, and some courts do not support electronic information due to legal requirements. There is a transition and costs involved when documents are integrated electronically. The 10-year plan included staff reduction requirements, and two years ago staff was reduced by one person. Commissioner Taub requested that when the Library Board plans meetings, they coordinate meeting dates with the Board of Commissioners’ meeting calendar so that there are no conflicts with Library Board members. Ms. Mancini and Mr. Chambers answered questions posed by the Commissioners about the line -item budget.
