OLD
BUSINESS
NEW
BUSINESS
Deputy Supervisor Snow Jr addressed the
Board regarding a Google account. He
stated the Town Website is not user friendly and we have been having issues
with it. The Yahoo accounts have to
go. Municipalities are not allowed to
use Yahoo. He has asked all Departments
to stop using the Yahoo Accounts but some are still using it. We have no way of tracking emails. We are required to keep emails for one year
and they need to be stored. He suggested
cloud base storage. Deputy Supervisor
Snow Jr. will research and bring the information to the Board. Mr. Snow Jr. said the new Board has a lot of
work to do. He also stated the
Comprehensive Plan needs to be looked at.
