Commissioners flagged a problem with the county’s new CivicPlus platform after staff submitted a semiannual report that was present in the board packet but not visible on the public‑facing agenda within the 24‑hour posting window. The issue surfaced during consent‑agenda discussion when a board member asked whether item 2C — the treasurer’s semiannual report — was included in the consent vote.
What happened: Eli (county staff) and other administrators explained that CivicPlus stores multiple PDF subdocuments with independent timestamps; an exhibit (the semiannual report) had been uploaded but the two‑page agenda PDF was not updated on the public portal, producing a mismatch between the internal packet and the public view. Staff described the situation as a “beta” or learning curve with the new platform and outlined remedies: (1) treat packet items shown internally as authoritative while fixing the public posting, (2) use routine administrative motions for purely technical corrections if necessary, and (3) improve staff procedures for cross‑checking the public view after uploads.
Board action and guidance: Because the missing item was a ratification of a semiannual report that had to be filed, commissioners decided against a technical agenda amendment and instead approved the consent agenda with the two items that were publicly posted (2A and 2B). They also directed staff to (a) correct the CivicPlus posting, (b) send a public explanation and a subscription link to residents, and (c) develop a short checklist so packet changes are reflected in both internal and public facing PDFs within the 24‑hour notice window.
Ending: Staff said they will follow up with procurement and vendor options to improve the platform, and commissioners emphasized that the county will keep the public informed while smoothing the technical transition.
