County Artificial Intelligence Acceptable Use Policy
The county was scheduled to consider a formal policy governing how county employees and departments may use artificial intelligence tools. The policy is designed to manage AI risks while keeping the county compliant with privacy, accessibility, and public records laws. For residents, it shapes how safely their data is handled when AI touches county services.
Interpreter services for the deaf
The county signed a two-year, up-to-$50,000 contract with Interpretek to provide sign-language interpreter services, still pending final legislators approval.
Tax-delinquent property auction sales
The county sold properties seized for unpaid taxes at its August auction. Approving the deeds gets those properties back into private ownership and back on the tax rolls, which spreads the tax burden more fairly across everyone else.
