Chair says county newsletter delayed; commissioners reminded budget season is upcoming

During the communications section of the meeting, the commission recorded no external communications items. The chair noted the bi-monthly county newsletter for July and August would be distributed later than usual and asked residents to send email addresses to Brenda or contact the commissioners to be added to the county's email list. "We're still making hard copies and taking them to senior centers," the chair said, but added that printing and distributing many hard copies was costly.

The chair also reminded the commission that budget season is approaching and will take place in late summer and fall.

Why it matters: The newsletter is a primary channel for county notices and constituent outreach; changes in distribution could affect residents who rely on print copies. The chair's reminder about the budget schedule is a standard procedural item for planning.
