Kittitas County IT staff report progress on new public website, plan SharePoint intranet and review Microsoft Purview
Summary
At a Feb. 23 study session, Kittitas County IT staff told the Board of Commissioners that Diagram Inc. is advancing the county's new public website, that staff plan to replace the in-house intranet with Microsoft SharePoint pending funding, and that Microsoft Purview was discussed as a centralized search tool; no formal decisions or timelines were recorded.
Kittitas County IT staff updated the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners at an 11 a.m. Feb. 23 study session on progress toward a new public website, plans to migrate the county intranet to Microsoft SharePoint and a discussion of Microsoft Purview for searching county Microsoft records.
Assistant IT Director Zane Kinney said Diagram Inc. continues to make steady progress on the county's new public website and that he is "very pleased with their work and with how the website is turning out." Kinney said he will schedule training for county departments but that a training date has not been chosen.
IT Director Doug Fessler and Kinney said they have been developing plans to adopt Microsoft SharePoint to replace an in-house intranet platform. The pair reported they have met with StoneShare Inc., a consulting firm specializing in support for small government organizations, to discuss configuring and deploying SharePoint. They said staff are working with the county finance team to identify a funding source; the transcript does not record a funding amount, budget code or implementation timeline.
Meeting minutes also note a discussion of Microsoft Purview, described in the record as an application that would allow users to search for Microsoft records stored on county servers through a single interface. The minutes summarize the tool's purpose but do not record a decision to adopt Purview, a vendor engagement, cost estimates, or a deployment plan.
No citizen comments were recorded, and the study session adjourned at 11:24 a.m. The minutes include an administrative signature block and a formal recording of attendees.
