Butte County IT to migrate web and email to buttecounty.ca.gov; existing domain to remain active for two years
Summary
Information Systems staff briefed the board on plans to move the county website and email to the buttecounty.ca.gov domain to align with state guidance; the target change date is April 6, 2026, and the old domain will be maintained for two years to reduce disruption.
Paul Veil, director of information systems, briefed the board on a planned migration of the county web and email domains to buttecounty.ca.gov. Veil said the change is being made to comply with state guidance (referred to in the presentation as Assembly Bill 1637) and because government .gov domains are restricted to U.S. government entities and are generally more trusted by the public.
Key points Veil presented:
• Target date for the cutover: Monday, April 6, 2026.
• Transition plan: county will work with departments and external service providers to update links and addresses; the existing buttecounty.net domain will remain operational in parallel for two years after the cutover to allow time for partners and the public to update records.
• Communications: the county will run a public information campaign and department outreach to minimize disruptions and will assist employees and vendors in updating addresses, business cards and documentation.
The item was informational; no board vote was required.
Provenance: IT migration briefing delivered in agenda item 4.14 starting at 01:26:41 of the meeting.
