Summary
The board discussed access to the county website and social-media accounts and agreed elected officials should have continuity on accounts; commissioners asked the county's contracted webmaster for a statement of work and planned to add multiple elected officials as administrators for continuity.
Bourbon County commissioners discussed who should control the county's website, Facebook page and other online accounts and agreed that elected officials need reliable access and continuity on those platforms.
County Clerk Jennifer said she and staff have administrative roles now but that some accounts appear to be missing or have access problems; the county's web vendor holds the hosting and primary administration keys, and the clerk suggested asking the vendor for a statement of work (SOW) that describes hosting, backup and support services billed in the annual invoice.
Commissioners discussed adding multiple elected officials as administrators of the Facebook page and the web portal so the accounts would not be lost when an individual leaves office. The board also asked staff to investigate passwords and account ownership; one commissioner said the existing Bourbon County Facebook page could not currently be accessed by several officials and recommended recreating the page if access cannot be restored.
Commissioners asked the webmaster for a copy of the contract and for details of the monthly support hours and services included. No formal vote was recorded; the board reported reaching a consensus to proceed with multiple elected-official access and to request contract and SOW documentation from the vendor.
