County communications department seeks deputy director and plans to move older-adult services to Health
Summary
Department of Public Communications leaders proposed reorganizing to add a deputy director, transfer Older Adult Services to Health & Human Services and expand community engagement; they also outlined a website CMS migration and a new SMS/email platform to improve outreach.
Department of Public Communications (DPC) leaders presented a proposed reorganization that would transfer Older Adult Services (OAS) to Health & Human Services and add an elevated deputy director role to strengthen day-to-day leadership and succession planning. The proposal would replace the existing community engagement manager with a community engagement representative and add a deputy to oversee operations while enabling the director to focus on strategy and countywide communications.
DPC also outlined digital improvements: a planned CMS migration to move oakgov.com to oakgov.gov with redirects, an RFP for a new communications platform that includes email and SMS/text messaging, and senior town halls and other community engagement activities to reach older residents. Leaders said the changes are included in the county executive's recommended budget and would remain subject to board approval.
