RECEIVE presentation on media protocol
|
| |
Susan Shiu provided a brief presentation and guidance on media protocol as outlined in the staff report. As the County's Public Information Office, Susan requested that Steering Committee members coordinate all media calls and requests through her office if members plan to respond on behalf of the Complete Count Steering Committee. If members are speaking as an individual or on behalf of another organization, an not on behalf of the Steering Committee, members do not need to coordinate with the Public Information Office, but Steering Committee members are still requested to share information on the media interview with Susan or Kristine Solseng because it would still be useful to track those media contacts for census purposes. The new web address is contracosta.ca.gov and you can get to the Census 2020 landing page though the home page. Please contact Kristine Solseng about information on the Census 2020 landing page as she is managing those pages. For other inquiries you can contact the webmaster via the link on the county's Census website.
Supervisor Burgis requested that staff provide the Committee members with Susan Shiu's contact information.
