Committee permits staff to add SMS/privacy text to county website to enable text notifications

The Administration Committee agreed April 30 to allow staff to add a privacy statement to the county website to satisfy TCR registration requirements that will enable SMS/text messaging through the county’s new phone system.

"The current privacy policy that I was looking at was called the website policy...the point of this TCR registration that we need to complete is we got a new phone system...in order to do that, we have to have this registration completed and verified and have this privacy policy publicly listed on our county website," Jake explained to the committee.

Committee members agreed staff could insert the proposed privacy text into the existing website policy (and rename or refine it later if the TCR rejects the filing). A motion to permit the insertion was moved and seconded; the committee approved the change by voice vote.

Staff said they will continue cataloging the county’s policies and update the policy library over time.
