Call Meeting to Order Chair McGill called the meeting to order at 8:32 a.m. 2. Public Comments None. 3. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board a. Provide direction regarding Central San new logo design Ms. Barnett distributed two logo options (see Options A and B attached) based on Central San's existing logo, as directed by the Board at the July 20, 2017 Board meeting. Option B contained a modernized font for the District's name and nickname, a more Administration Committee Minutes September 12, 2017 Page 2 elegant "S" in the "CCCSD" appearing at the end of the pipe, and fewer lines on the pipe. Chair McGill said Option B was exactly what he had in mind when he brought up the concept at the July 20 Board meeting. Member Williams, who reiterated his preference for the new logo Option A presented at the July 20 Board meeting that was not adopted by a majority of the Board, said that of the two options presented at this meeting, he agreed that Option B was preferable. Ms. Barnett mentioned that there is currently about 1-1/2 years' worth of letterhead inventory and business card stock with the existing logo. She asked for feedback as to implementation of an updated logo. Would the Committee prefer a "lite" rollout (using up existing paper stock inventory, utilizing the updated logo on any new publications, such as the Pipeline, etc., and only updating vehicle logos as they are replaced) ? Alternatively, would the Committee suggest a more full-fledged and costly implementation involving all new printed materials and immediate updates to vehicle logos, etc. ? The Committee expressed preference for the "lite" rollout, which is the least costly approach. COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended (1) that both logo options be brought to the Board for consideration, noting that the Committee prefers Option B; and (2) a "lite" rollout. b. Review proposed new Board Policy No. BP 033 - Public Records, and discuss "Diligent Search" portion of related draft Administrative Procedure No. AP 033 Mr. Alm said the draft Board policy included with the agenda packet was very high level and that staff is in the process of drafting detailed associated administrative procedures (AP 033) based on a recent model developed by the League of California Cities subsequent to the California Supreme Court ruling in City of San Jose v. Superior Court, which held that public agency officials' or employees' use of personal accounts or devices to communicate about public business may now be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (PRA). Chair McGill suggested that a more expansive description of the types of personal accounts or devices affected by the policy be Administration Committee Minutes September 12, 2017 Page 3 included in the policy language, similar to that in the "Diligent Search" section of the draft AP 033. Member Williams suggested that the term "writings" as used in the draft policy be defined to clarify that they may be written or verbal (such as text messages and voicemail). Substantial discussion took place about how these procedures and policy will affect Board Members on their personal devices and personal accounts and what the law requires in terms of the retention period for emails, texts and voicemails on personal devices, given there may be limitations based on individual storage capacity. Also discussed were the value of retaining emails for longer periods of time to facilitate work styles and convenient reference, and the benefits of regularly educating staff and the Board with regard to the PRA. The Committee was clear on the importance of maintaining transparency in the conduct of the District's business. Chair McGill said the District should be transparent, practical and do the right thing. Mr. Alm noted that clarifying case law on some of the issues raised by the Committee will not be available for some time. In the meantime, it will be helpful to have a policy in place with associated procedures. He said he would work with staff to revise the draft policy to incorporate the Committee's suggestions for review at a future meeting. COMMITTEE ACTION: Requested that staff (1) bring back a revised draft policy for review at a future meeting based on the Committee's feedback, and (2) provide information on potential retention periods for emails to be incorporated into the administrative procedure. 4.
