Summary

Chair Harrington asked for confirmation that commissioners' use of texting follows ITS guidance (policy 601/601A). Staff said ITS has not flagged concerns and will double-check commissioner use of the texting system.

Chair Harrington raised a procedural question about policy 601 and 601A (texting procedure) to confirm that commissioners' texting practices align with ITS guidance. He said the texting procedures come up in his everyday work and wanted assurance he is following the current guidance.

Staff responded that ITS had not reported any concerns so far but committed to "double back" to verify commissioner use of the texting system and ensure compliance. No substantive policy change or enforcement action was announced on the record; staff framed this as a follow-up verification task.
