Council discusses logos, website and social‑media policy; staff to help create county‑controlled web presence

County staff presented three sample committee logos and offered to produce tailored logo options if council members email design preferences to staff or to the secretary. The council discussed whether logos and committee correspondence should be handled by individual members or through county channels. County staff recommended that logos and official correspondence be routed through the newly appointed secretary and the Veterans Services Office to ensure consistent messaging and compliance with county policy.

Members reported an inactive Facebook page for the VAC that was previously created and said they had account credentials. Staff advised the council that county policy requires county‑controlled or county‑administered accounts for official committee pages and that a county communications staff member (Eddie Lopez) could present options for creating a county‑linked page. Staff said creating a county-hosted VAC web page under the Clerk of the Board is possible; that page would include agendas, minutes, bylaws, meeting locations and potentially a form or link for submissions such as sponsorship inquiries. Staff cautioned that using personal email addresses for official VAC business may conflict with county policy and recommended establishing a committee email account or coordinating with county IT for a county‑tied address.

The council asked staff to add the county social‑media policy to a future agenda and to consult IT about whether the proposed web page could host a submission link for sponsorship inquiries. No formal action or contractual decisions were made at the meeting.
