Commissioners table limited‑access policy after First Amendment audit discussion
Summary
After staff described First Amendment audits and proposed a Limited Access Policy to define public versus restricted areas, commissioners withdrew the approval motion and tabled the policy for further clarification and transparency.
County Administrator Amy Bernard and HR Director Tiffany Baker told the commissioners about training they attended on First Amendment audits — instances where members of the public film interactions in municipal buildings — and proposed a Limited Access Policy to define public and private areas and provide transparent rules for staff responses.
Baker and Bernard said the policy would help staff respond consistently to people who record in public areas. Commissioners initially considered approving the policy but the motion was withdrawn and the board voted to table the item for additional work and clarification (motion Terry/Lance, 3-0).
The board asked staff to refine the policy language so that restricted areas are clearly defined and procedures are transparent to the public before bringing it back for consideration.
