8. Old Business

Mr. Carlsen told the committee his staff investigated the cost and effectiveness of taking out a

Google ad for election night and they found it to be $900 for a 30-day ad. He said staff does not

recommend moving forward with it.

Mr. Carlsen then reminded the committee that website visitors will land on a splash page, at

which point they will be able to choose to visit the main website or the election results page.

After some discussion, Joan Olson, Communications Manager, said she will add a banner on the

County's main website the day after elections to make it easier for visitors to find.

Member Kachiroubas asked if the election website is working properly, to which Mr. Carlsen

responded yes.

Mr. Carlsen informed the committee that this year is one in which the 10-year Strategic

Technology Plan will be updated. He said he will send out the templates to the Elected Officials

and department heads with hopes to publish the final plan within the next 90 days or so.

Chairman Wiley then encouraged County Board members to attend the next Technology

Committee meeting in order to view the project dashboard that he has been working on with Mr.

Carlsen.

10. Adjournment

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
