County updates: new website work, ADA policy posting and social media metrics
Summary
MIS Director Dan Buchholz outlined ongoing work on the county website, ADA compliance and security updates; Administrator Ron Barger reported tourism social media metrics (about 437,000 Facebook views and 10,000 interactions) and noted WEDC grant activity.
MIS Director Dan Buchholz told the Executive and Finance Committee on Jan. 12 that staff are continuing to build and modify the county's new website and that department staff are being trained to manage pages. Buchholz said an ADA compliance policy will be posted and that scheduled security software updates and cabling work for the Sheriffs Office are planned.
Administrator Ron Barger reported on tourism and social media metrics in Tourism Coordinator Brett Klawitter's absence, saying the county saw roughly 437,000 views and about 10,000 interactions on Facebook over the last couple of months. Barger also noted that Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) grant round 2 has been awarded and round 3 is open for applications.
Why it matters: improved website management and ADA compliance affect public access to county services and records; security updates relate to the county's cyber posture, and social media metrics inform tourism promotion and grant strategy.
What happens next: MIS will post the ADA compliance policy and proceed with planned software and cabling work; staff will continue training on the new website. Tourism grant opportunities remain open for applicants.
