Commissioners review draft emergency plan, travel‑advisory checklist and report $10M in CD investments
Summary
County staff said they will circulate an updated Comprehensive Emergency Management plan with a new cybersecurity policy, proposed a travel‑advisory checklist for closures, and reported roughly $10 million in county CD investments split between two terms.
County meeting highlights: an updated county emergency plan and cybersecurity policy will be circulated for review, a travel‑advisory checklist was proposed to standardize closures, and staff reported the county's investment holdings in certificates of deposit.
Speaker 6 told the commissioners they will "send out the CE and the E for the county, just a comprehensive emergency management plan" and had added a cybersecurity policy to the draft for the board to review before the next commissioner meeting for possible promulgation and signature. The speaker said the state requested format changes and that the draft will be emailed to commissioners for comment.
The same speaker proposed a travel‑advisory checklist aimed at clarifying when public offices should close during events such as school closures or declared emergency levels. "If there's a checklist...that explains if the schools are closed, if we're at this level of emergency, then the public offices are closed kinda thing," Speaker 6 said, and asked commissioners to review a circulated draft.
On fiscal matters, Speaker 6 reported the auditor's office told county staff that "our holiday and overtime budget went over for last year, so it's gonna have to be encumbered into this year's budget." The speaker said they will raise the matter with the county council as needed.
Speaker 6 also described the county's short‑term investment position: "Right now, we have yes. In investments, we have 10,000,000. 2 different CDs, which 1 of them, I just did a 2 year for the 7,000,000, and the $3.01, I did a 1 year," and said one CD is earning about 3.82%. The transcript wording on the split and exact one‑year yield is imprecise; the article reflects the amounts as stated in the meeting transcript and marks other rate detail as not specified.
No formal, recorded vote or public decision on these items appears in the transcript; commissioners were asked to review the drafts and return with questions or a recommendation at a future meeting.
