By September 30, 2020, the Yuba County Board of Supervisors should direct the County Administrator and County Counsel to promptly draft policies or procedures for County officials and other County employees regarding social media use and social media blocking. The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future. Consistent with the Grand Jury report, policies of social media use and social media blocking face a web of legal issues, requiring extensive legal analysis to determine the parameters in which policies can or should be developed. As a public agency it is the desire of the Board of Supervisors to conduct appropriate legal analysis and develop draft policies as soon as possible and hopefully prior to the end of the next fiscal year.
