.gov domain ownership and vendor costs questioned by commissioners
Summary
Commissioners discussed which entities will own the county .gov domain, noted Stronghold has been working on converting the county’s web presence and that an invoice of about $2,400 was reported; the clerk said three entities could end up jointly owning the domain unless the board acts.
Commissioners questioned who will ultimately control the county’s .gov domain and expressed frustration about progress and expense.
One commissioner asked whether the county had already directed Stronghold, the vendor, to convert the county website to a .gov domain and said he believed the domain should belong to the county government. Another commissioner said Stronghold had "spent ... $2,400 and something" related to the domain.
The clerk told the board that, according to her understanding, "no, three entities are going to own that with our county if we don't take action," indicating multiple parties would share ownership unless the board takes steps to consolidate control. Commissioners said Stronghold has been working on the conversion but that the process has taken months.
No formal vote or procurement decision was recorded in the transcript. Commissioners asked for follow-up and said they expected Stronghold to continue the work; some members suggested reviewing meeting records to confirm prior direction.
