CHAIRWOMAN'S REMARKS - CHAIR YOO
Chair Yoo invited everyone to the IT department sponsored laptop spa days, where IT will check
County-issued laptops and devices, optimize them for better functionality and troubleshoot any
issues you may have. She said while computers are being serviced, staff is welcome to attend
trainings on Microsoft Office, Global Protect, ZenDesk, and password management, among
others. She said the spa days will be held from 9:00am to 3:00pm on Monday, October 23rd,
Wednesday, October 25th, and Thursday, October 26th. She said the invitation for this inaugural
event was sent to all 421 staff, but County Board members are invited to participate as well.
Chair Yoo said on November 6th, IT will start switching County Board and Recorder's office
emails from dupageco.org to dupagecounty.gov. Member Rutledge asked if there will still be a
period of redirecting the old emails. Mr. McPhearson responded yes, adding it will be a
minimum of about a year before that ends. He suggested everyone make outside contacts who
are currently sending to the .org account aware that we are switching over. Mr. Johnson asked
what the timeline is for it to be completely transferred over countywide. Mr. McPhearson said
everyone will be moved over to .gov by the end of this year, then we will monitor it for a
minimum of a year to ensure there are no issues. Member Galassi asked if we will be getting
new business cards with the updated email. Mr. McPhearson said they can request new business
cards, but it is not necessary. He said we will forward .org for a year or a year and a half. He
said if Board members run out of cards or really want replacements to come to IT and we will get
an order placed for them.
Chair Yoo then welcomed students from Hinsdale Central High School, from the AP
Government class, who were invited by Member Evans.
