Commission hears staff update, plans accessible materials and county-fair outreach
Summary
Staff announced a vacant liaison position and the commission planned accessible brochures, a staffed booth at the county fair, and low-tech public-feedback methods; staff advised using accessibility checkers and providing an accessible web version.
Staff reported that the commission's staff liaison has left and the position is being recruited; interim staff will provide coverage while hiring continues. The commission discussed outreach for the county fair, an accessible trifold brochure with a QR code linking to an accessible online table, and a low-tech comment box for feedback.
"The position is actually advertised now... It's open continuous until we're able and filled," staff said, asking commissioners to suggest candidates. Commissioners and staff emphasized web accessibility checks, captioning for embedded videos, and producing a simple, tabular online resource equivalent to any print brochure.
The commission assigned follow-up: draft a concise trifold (Andrew and Karen leading), run accessibility checks, and schedule staffing sign-ups for the fair. Staff agreed to coordinate with fair organizers on space accessibility, and the commission will finalize outreach materials at its August 3 meeting.
