Daggett County Commission to place website privacy notice on next week’s agenda
Summary
Commissioners discussed the county website’s posted privacy policy, agreed to place the item on next week’s agenda for formal approval, and directed IT staff to respond to a compliance notice and format the policy for the county policy book.
Daggett County commissioners discussed the county website’s privacy notice and agreed to put the policy on next week’s agenda for formal commission approval, after IT staff said the notice is already posted on the site.
Cordell McCracken, of the county IT department, told commissioners that the privacy notice appears on the county website — “it does meet all these and it is up there … We’re compliant because it’s there,” he said during the meeting. McCracken said he would respond to a state compliance email and provide a printed copy of the policy for commissioners to review.
The discussion centered on whether the posted notice requires formal adoption by the commission to be official. “I wasn’t aware that we have the policy. Did that go through commission meeting and get approved so it needs policy manual or where is that at?” Carrie, a county staff member, asked; she indicated the county needs to place the policy into the policy manual if the commission approves it.
McCracken and Brian Gibson, both from the IT department, described additional privacy work planned at the state level, saying county IT directors are looking at a 10‑year plan that includes classifying county data, creating a data‑retention policy and designating a responsible executive (for example, a CAO) to oversee compliance. Commissioners asked that the privacy notice be formatted for the policy book; staff said they would coordinate to have it appear on the agenda for formal consideration next week.
No formal vote to adopt the policy occurred during the meeting. Instead, the commission agreed to review the posted policy at a future meeting and to have IT staff respond to the compliance request cited in the state email.
Later in the meeting the commission moved into closed session on separate matters. Commissioner Matt Tippets announced the move to closed session for collective bargaining and litigation and for purchase, exchange or lease of real property; the meeting entered closed session at 10:24 a.m.
