Commission approves county privacy program and extends LexisNexis legal‑research subscription
Summary
The commission adopted a county privacy program (Resolution 2025‑17), naming a county privacy administrator and office designees; it also approved a one‑year LexisNexis contract extension with a small price increase and indicated interest in exploring an AI‑enabled upgrade for 2027.
Beaver County commissioners approved a formal county privacy program on Dec. 2, adopting Resolution 2025‑17. The resolution mirrors the county's GRAMA (Government Records Access and Management Act) policy and designates a county privacy administrator; staff said each office will also name an office-level privacy designee. The measure passed by unanimous voice vote and a roll‑call confirmation of commissioners in attendance.
Separately, staff presented a proposed one‑year extension of the county's LexisNexis legal research subscription. The presenter described the subscription as the county's current legal research tool (replacing physical law books) and recommended a one‑year renewal with a minor monthly increase; the extension was taken and approved by motion. Staff flagged a possible 2027 upgrade to add AI‑powered research features and said they would work to include that in the 2027 budget if commissioners wish to pursue it.
Commissioners thanked staff for preparing the draft privacy program and noted the convenience of centralizing privacy administration with existing GRAMA responsibilities; they also directed staff to file the signed resolution and circulate implementation details to county offices.
